Major features Japanese Tea Garden A step-stone bridge in the Japanese Tea Garden The Japanese tea garden, an immensely popular feature, was originally built as part of a sprawling World's Fair, the 1894 California Midwinter International Exposition[1]. Notable as the oldest public Japanese garden in the U.S., this intricate complex of many paths, ponds and a teahouse features native Japanese and Chinese plants. Also hidden throughout its five acres (20,000 m²) are beautiful sculptures and bridges. Makato Hagiwara, a Japanese gardener who was official caretaker of the garden from 1895 to 1942, was also the inventor of the fortune cookie. A persistent (but likely apocryphal) legend records that the Japanese ambassador, after being shown its features and asked his opinion, gasped, "We have nothing to equal it in Japan." The Music Concourse Area The Music Concourse is an open area with three water fountains surrounded with maple trees positioned uniformally. There is also a stage on the east side. The buildings near the conourse area include The Academy of Sciences and the De Young Museum. In 2003 Music Concourse is also undergoing a series improvements to include an underground 800-car parking garage, narrowing of the roadways in the Music Concourse, the addition of bike lanes, and the elimination of existing surface parking.
