Tucked away in Saratoga, the Hakone Japanese Tea Garden are somewhat of a hidden gem in the valley. Slighter larger than Golden Gate Park’s Tea Garden, they are a great excuse starting a rainy day trip over the hill to the coast.
Eloise (when she wasn’t sleeping) particularly enjoyed the koi fish and the kimonos worn by the attendees at the special tea ceremony that we were (permissibly) watching.
