Japanese Friendship Garden, San Jose, CA

 Following a visit to the Happy Hollow Park and Zoo yesterday, the lovely Robin and I accompanied our grandkids, Miles and Mia, to the adjacent Japanese Friendship Garden.

The Japanese Friendship Garden is a beautiful walled section of Kelley Park in San Jose. It is patterned after Japan's famous Korakuen Garden in Okayama and spans six acres.

The koi in the pond are healthy and hungry. Some are the size of a small horse.

Miles, who has been to the gardens on a school field trip, led us all around the beautiful environs.

Thanks to Mimi, Miles and Mia were able to buy a half-dollar's worth of fish food to feed the koi from the red bridge. The koi were appreciative, and we were just happy the kids didn't fall off the bridge.

The Japanese Friendship Garden is located at 1300 Senter Road in San Jose.
