Japanese Friendship Garden is 1.9 mi (3.1 km) from central San Jose, why not stop by during your stay. Our travelers also like the art galleries in the area— your cultural tour starts here. It's also full of great shops and restaurants, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander. If you have fun at Japanese Friendship Garden, you'll love Happy Hollow Park and Zoo and California Trolley and Railroad Corporation, both a short walk away.
