Breathtaking Japanese Tea Garden And Koi Pond – San Antonio



#koipond #turtlepond #sanantonio
We totally forgot to explain in our video why the sign at the entrance reads “Chinese Tea Garden” but the area is referred to as the “Japanese Tea Garden”. A look at San Antonio’s Parks and Recreation website explains the history of this and more about the amazing place we visited right here…. https://www.sanantonio.gov/ParksAndRec/Parks-Facilities/All-Parks-Facilities/Parks-Facilities-Details/artmid/14820/articleid/2912/japanese-tea-garden
In 1926, at the City’s invitation, Kimi Eizo Jingu, a local Japanese-American artist, moved to the garden and opened the Bamboo Room, where light lunches and tea were sold. After Mr. Jingu’s death in the late 1930s, his family continued to operate the tea garden until 1942, when they were evicted because of anti-Japanese sentiment during World War II. A Chinese-American family operated the facility until the early 1960s, and it was known as the Chinese Sunken Garden. In 1984, the area was rededicated as the Japanese Tea Garden in a ceremony attended by the Jingu’s children and representatives of the Japanese government.
