Hayward Japanese Gardens

Hayward

California's oldest traditional Japanese garden hides in plain sight in Hayward: three and a half acres of koi ponds, pruned pines, and winding stone paths designed to slow you down. Kimio Kimura's 1980 landscape feels like a secret discovery, with red bridges arching over turtle-filled waters and shaded pavilions perfect for quiet contemplation.
