Japanese Garden at Cal State Long Beach

Tucked away on the campus of Cal State Long Beach is a charming and small Japanese Garden. Unlike the large Japanese Garden in Van Nuys, this one takes just a few minutes to enjoy. There is no entry fee to the garden, but it is available for private events such as weddings and funerals.

Here is some of what we saw on our way to the Belmont Shore Sand Sculpture Festival:

japanese garden long beach entry — The entry to the Japanese Garden at California State University Long Beach.

japanese garden long beach pond — At the heart of the garden in a pond reflecting the overcast skies of Long Beach.

japanese garden long beach bridge — A bridge arches over the cascade of water tumbling off a rocky waterfall in the garden.
