SuihoEn - The Japanese Garden

Van Nuys

SuihoEn is so perfectly maintained it almost feels like a movie set, which makes the reveal even stranger: that serene lake is fed by treated wastewater from the humming reclamation plant next door. Don't recoil. This 6.5-acre stunner by landscape architect Koichi Kawana delivers dry Zen gardens, waterfalls, and a traditional teahouse with none of the crowds.
