Another favorite, this time in Delray Beach. If you come for a festival , spend the time in line for the Cornell Cafe and order there. Try the mochi , drink the sake, explore the gardens & museum . Read more

The garden is beautiful, the entry price is worth it! It's peaceful , organized and there is much to see. The museum is interesting, they had samurai weapons and armor on display when I went.

Beautiful and quiet walkings. You can just sit down and hear the sound of the bamboos , or just enjoy the view . Their restaurant is good. Try their Bento Box . Warning: it's a lot of protein!

Bring sushi , a picnic blanket, paper umbrellas and watercolors with the kids, let them paint what they see, as you sample saki from your flask.

The restaurant is great. I don't get the layout of the gardens , but there is a mound, which makes it cool relative to every other flat thing around here.

Walk the tranquil grounds. It’s so quiet . Occasionally you hear the rustling of bamboo trees , a koi breaking the pond surface, see your reflection in the stream. This is it, your moment of Zen.
