Very small garden in the Central Park San Mateo. Not worth to go unless you live nearby. You can spend 15 mins max there and 15 mins walk around the park.Full review by Passport00169637287

This park is located on El Camino Real, between 5th and 9th Aves. The Japanese Garden is located inside the park, directly behind (south) of the tennis courts on 5th. You can park under the tennis courts and take the south walkway. You come up facing the senior community center and the fence around the Japanese garden. Proceed south 50 feet and you'll see the gate. Enjoy!

Unfortunately, no. This is only a Japanese garden with a tea house building. There are three Japanese restaurants near by (about 6 blocks away): Hotaru Japanese Restaurant, Sushi Sam's Edomata, and Dash Japanese Tapas and Sushi. To experience a Japanese Tea Ceremony (Chanoyu) Your best bet is in San Francisco. You can search Yelp! for "japanese tea ceremony" or try chanoyu San Francisco (they have a website) for schedules. Best of luck!
