Japanese Garden in other cities:
A very pleasant park to visit, and the weather certainly helped. Apparently a popular wedding shoot location. Certainly not an oriental excess outside, but there is also a museum there which I unfortunately did not visit this time.
I proposed here and we are now married love returning
Its a very peaceful, beautiful place!! I love coming here😊
Small yet beautiful Park. Absolutely quiet and peaceful unless a wedding is taking place at the museum. For the most part is quit and a good place to sit and relax, or take a quick walk or a run for that matter. The place is full of trees, small ponds. Little benches are added here and there to Sit and relax or enjoy the view.Best place in buffalo to see Cherry blossoms.
Beautiful views of the lake, the garden is very pretty and peaceful. Its a great place to sit or walk. Went to a small wedding here and the pictures of the ceremony in the garden were absolutely perfect.
Beautiful place . Cherry festival is the best time to visit. History museum also there. Delaware park is around there.
Always an enjoyable experience
Made it just in time until next spring!!
Not at all accessible, not even a railing to get down the rocks safely, or a sign to a path thats accessible. Beautiful, though.
There is a small Japanese Garden near the Buffalo History Museum inside Delaware Park. Located on a fairly steep hill, the most notable feature of the garden is the 3 small islands in Hoyt Lake at the bottom/southern portion. The waterfront view serves as an enlarged version of a pond thats commonly found in Japanese gardens. There are a couple of Japanese Red Maple trees and Japanese Cherry Blossom trees inside the garden. Parking can be found at the museum and the garden is within a short walk from the parking lot.
Very small but very relaxing. A few benches to sit at.
Perfect place to enjoy the cherry blossom
Beautiful place to take a walk or find some zen! The cherry blossom trees are great to see when in bloom
Very pretty park when trees are in bloom!
Beautiful, serene, not crowded...great for strolling or just enjoying the view.
Beautiful place for a walk even in thr winter
I absolutely love this garden especially during the spring for the cherry blossom. So beautiful
Peaceful. Great place for photography because there are so many options on the macro and micro level.
Beautiful!! Such a great view. Historic and fun.
Zen Zen Zen peaceful place to unwind look at the water or make a romance novel come to life. Fun fact is that if you rent a boat on the other side of Hoyt Lake you can row right up to bonsai islands and respectfully explore within reason of course.
Very picturesque with all the cherry blossoms but very crowded and parking is hard to come by
It was really good it was calm and really pretty,a really nice place to go for a walk
Beautiful all times of the year but especially in Spring & Fall. Plenty of free parking too.
Beautiful place for a picnic, photoshoot, biking/blading. Theres even row boats you can rent for only $10 for 30 minutes!
Beautiful way to spend your lunch time. Cant wait until everything is in full bloom.
If you seek tranquility... this garden has all the elements of a truly “zen garden”.
Beautiful evening with the smell of cherry blossoms in the air
Nice, peaceful gardens in a beautiful setting near the historical museum
Beautiful place where you can make long walks with all natura around.
If your in Buffalo at this time of year its a beautiful sight to see. A great photo opportunity.
Beautiful grounds! Cherry Blossoms in bloom! Very crowded!
Its the first time we have been here. Though there are lots of people near the garden entrance. The Sakura is very beautiful. Along the trail, the lake makes us feel peaceful. Its a good place to go for a walk in downtown.
The garden is beautiful. The traditional Japanese dances at the Cherry Blossom Festival were lovely.
We have cherry blossoms earlier this year.
Absolutely GREAT, nice & clean!! The Buffalo history museum is great I suggest going to take a look if you never have
It must be pretty when spring and some part of fall.
Is a nice place to spend a good time with your family, Japanese Garden is beautiful peaceful place.
Always a beautiful and peaceful place to walk and unwind! ❤
A place that youd have to see to believe. Peaceful, serene, and tranquil.
The cherry blossoms are beautiful in the spring during the festival but its a nice place to take a walk anytime
Serene. Serene and beautiful.. I wish there was an English word that combined the two. Ive always wanted to visit this place and Im glad that I did. I will definitely be coming back every season. The landscaping, the architecture, the paths - EVERYTHING is beautiful!
Amazing experience there! Very pretty. It gives me chill and anime vibes. The cherry blossom trees were very beautiful. The little lantern-like structures were very pretty also. I definitely recommend going there during spring. (Late spring) Its very relaxing and chill there. It also gives me Lofi hip hop vibes. Overall, I definitely recommend going there!
A perfect location to relax and get away for Humans. Best visited by yourself.
Again, peaceful and beautiful especially when the garden is in full bloom! Good photos taken while on my friends boat! Others should try it!
Beautiful place to visit and enjoy.
A beautiful hidden gem behind the Buffalo History Museum!
Such a beautiful scenery & peaceful, no matter which season.
Nice place to see the fish and the garden.
We love going to the Japanese Garden. Its very beautiful and peaceful. Its the closest you can get to actually feeling like youre in Japan!
Very pretty. go find the rocks we left. sweet buffalo rocks facebook.
Nice quiet place to walk and relax
Perfect location to come for a quick walk or to get lost in time for a few hours... I have lost count on how many times I have come to this park with my best friend, son or even my sister for a jogging session. Never too crowded really. The usual crowd may be people walking their dog, a wedding party taking photos or just people hanging out. The scenery is beautiful and its pretty safe. I have walked PLENTY of times past sunset and I was fine. Definitely a go to place for when you want to chill...
Absolutely love this park. Its near Hoyt Lake. You can cannon or kayak or Swan rentals . It has the most amazing resrurtant right on the lake. I was purposed to here as well, I said yes! I also did my pregnancy shoot here as well! Something magical about the location its self. Its a nice layout
Good place for family
Perfect walking area with shade, great in the spring time!
A beautiful garden with even more beautiful cherry blossoms! One of my favorite places in Buffalo.
Beautiful place, didnt even know it existed. Alot of different weddings taking place at the same time so it was a little crowded but overall a great place to go. Even just to go out on a bike ride or walk they got a nice trail wrapping around a little pond .
A Buffalo gem and a very appreciated gift from Kanazawa!
The blooms were early this year but worth the trip to see. The history of the small Japanese influence here from our sister city is very sweet
Best place other than Glen Falls for professional grade pictures, for weddings or any kind of portraits. Beautiful scenes around the Cherry Blossom season. My family and I went a few days before the Cherry Blossom fest took place to beat the crowd; came back the day of the festival and they had food trucks. Not bad prices for food and they accepted credit as well as cash!
I went there with my fiance for the Japanese cherry blossom event and it was moderately enjoyable for a city event. But the times to go there is when there are no events going on because there arent as many people. And as many of those kind of people that when youre walking make you wanna carry a semi horn around with you to call out their stupidity.But, it is a very clean area, the pond is adorable (especially for pictures), and the area is a nice place to go for a walk. Its gives that area a nice place to relax and escape the insanity that can be the city life. Also, very little about of bugs, which was super surprising.
A lovely short walk with a Japanese garden area. Pleasant atmosphere. Appears to be a popular place for having wedding photos.There is a play area for children across the main road which is accessible via a foot bridge. This is suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs etc. Ample parking available.
Came here during the Cherry Blossom Event. It was pretty nice, but a lot smaller than I thought it was gonna be. There were only a handful of cherry blossom trees that I saw but regardelss, the atmosphere and the weather made it worthwhile. Seeing the community just enjoying the park and outdoors is always a nice thing.Even saw a couple wedding parties which was nice :)Will definitely come back to visit and just sit back, relax, and read a book.
So gorgeous and serene.
Always loved coming here. The area its wonderful and usually peaceful. My only gripe is during wedding season. So many weddings coming through wanting to take pictures. Sometimes decent people, sometimes not so nice or sober jerks. Outside of that, wonderful place to just sit and relax and read or whatever.
Beautiful gardens with lots of stone made decorations..It is very relaxing to spend time at.. via paved trails connecting to Hoyt Lake, and into the rest of Delaware Park..well kept up.
We always like walking here, very peaceful. It was another sad walk today, because we lost our four legged baby boy over the weekend. Such Joy an animal can bring to your life. Very sad. Appreciate every moment you have. Slow down, breathe and cherish those close to you.
Well, it is nice. But it is small, it wasnt maintained very well, and it was right across from a busy road. I dont need to go back there again but it is definitely an upgrade from just a regular trail.
Nice flowers,and unique trees
A lovely spot in Delaware Park by the museum of natural history next to the reflection pond. Its nice place to sit and think or just sit and enjoy the beautiful view. So I hope you get a chance to do this.
Nice spot in town. Good to relax and get away. Romantic spot to walk and talk.
It.. Was very small.. I am honestly disappointed about it.. I was told it was bigger.. :(
Beautiful this time of the year!
The beauty of seeing the cherry blossoms at the Japanese Gardens was breathtaking.
Very nice and beautiful place. Walked all around. Although it doesnt have traditional koi ponds or bamboo forests, it kind of makes it up with lush greenery all around...
The Japanese Gardens are a wonderful place to have tea meditate or do yoga. I have come here many times to relax and to just view the water. Theres a very peaceful feeling being by the Japanese gardens. In the spring the Japanese cherry blossoms bloom to a beautiful pink. This is a great place to come to take photography for weddings prom or any other special occasion. The Buffalo history museum is also right by this area. Please visit the Japanese gardens.
Do you need a photography permit to shoot here? Haven’t been was wondering! Looks gorgeous.
It was so wonderful to get outside and enjoy the sunshine! I cant wait for all the cherry blossoms to bloom. A lot of smiling faces out enjoying it as well!
Its a garden, with a pond. Go take a walk here with your significant other. I bet once you do it once, you wont think of doing it again for 3 years. Ive been in a wedding here and took pictures here after my own wedding, its a nice spot for that.
I photographed this little baby here for her 1st birthday / cake smash. Its such a beautiful little spot downtown to photograph at. Its always very clean and beautiful all the time. My name is Seeloff Photography
Great place to take a walk, have a little picnic, go on a date. The water is sometimes dirty and the flowers not in bloom in the spring time. Id recommend this place on the summer for sure.
Extremely beautiful for a small cultural park, Im sure its even more wonderful at the beginning of spring when the trees first bloom!
Very nice place specially at spring time and cherry blossom trees blooming.
Nice place with cool flowers and trees but doesnt feel Japanese. I expected to feel like I was in an anime but it felt like I was still in America. Highly dissapointed would give one star but, the cherry trees or whatever they are caller smelled nice so I bumped the rating up an extra two stars.
Its a calming area, similar to deleware park. However, it has a good number of graffiti as you travel down the trail.
Its a nice place to visit. The winter weather has made the block walkway uneven. As in a trip hazard. Those dead trees by the 198 should go. I look forward to seeing the garden in full bloom. See you then!
We did a photoshoot today for a young couple who just got engaged the gardens were pristine what a great backdrop for photoshoot or any but he looking to capture some beautiful images
Beautiful! Hadnt been on that side in years. Very peaceful. If you have a good imgination you can sit or walk and pretend youre in Japan.😊
The place was pretty calming and peaceful when you think about it but it is still close to a bridge so you really have to be able to ignore that and just enjoy your time with all it brings to admire.
Its the most relaxing 😌 ☺ place I really enjoyed myself
Awesome place to walk around so beautiful you feel like youre in the country. You have Historical museum, mirror lake. Great place to bike around also
Always a relaxing time!!!
Beautiful so relax in to be out in nature and seeing some of Buffalos history. Today was the Cherry Blossom Festival so it was.even more beautiful with all the cherry blossom trees in bloom.
Beautiful walk thru the garden. Warm & sunny day. So peaceful!
I wish it was a little bigger but it was so pretty!!
Great peaceful place to chill out and enjoy the park
Serene and the back drop of mirror lake is beautiful. But a visit during cherry blossom season will be most fruitful
Beautiful! So much to see and do!
This is a neat place but calling it Garden is a slight exaggeration to be honest. This is a tiny Japan-themed area on the lake shore. Cool place to visit but dont expect much from it.
It’s a hidden buffalo gem. Some real beauty on the side of the thru way that you don’t want to overlook. Great photo op for all you aspiring photographers.
Not very big, and lots trash everywhere. But not a bad quick place to visit.
Wasnt bad I thought there should be more colorful flowers there tho
I love this place ❤️
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom
Another beautiful Buffalo day
Its a small, out of the way place to relax. You could easily stumble upon it by accident. It has a few nice sculptures.
Peaceful, beautiful, overall lovely experience.
Breathtaking views
Its beautiful at the Japanese garden especially in spring when the cherry blossoms are blooming but its a eventful place to walk around any time.
Ive been coming here to relax and escape from the world for over 20 years. Its my favorite peaceful place thats just a few yards from the distractions of life on elmwood.
I love this place, so relaxing. I love when the new art foes up around the Art gallery its almost like a new exibt outside every once and awhile
Great, it was a perfect for the viewing of the spectacular blossoms. It was very well supported by the community. Looking forward to next year.
The Japanese Gardens and Mirror Lake, are both beautiful and peaceful. Highly recommend taking a morning walk there.
Great park. Love the views and flowers.
Free audio tour available. Not a lot to see here. Nice for a quick stroll to stretch your legs if youre driving by.
Grounds need to be cleaned up
Nice spot around Delaware park and Hoyt Lake. Really pretty in the spring/summer time.
Its a beautiful place to go for a walk or date or just chill near the water.
Nice place just that the flowers kinda not pink anymore
Beautiful. My first time visiting during this event & I have lived here all my life.
Super pretty, really nice when cherry blossoms are out!
Its very nice in the spring with the blossoms and fall with color leaves
Always a great view but especially wonderful during the spring with the cherry blossoms blooming.
Beautiful area lots of trails.
Majestic... Inspiring the energy was amazing!
I and a friend visited here to see whats happened over the last 40 + yrs since Id been there.
This place is breathtaking. Its a beautiful part of nature. You feel at one with the earth here. Its a beautiful place to meditate.
Probably one of the ☮️ places within city limits ...kudos to the ppl who maintain it !!!
Beautiful area, peaceful, well kept. There is a self guided tour that can be downloaded from the Delaware Park website.
Beautiful and peaceful
A note beautiful spot for photos is difficult to find. Small but very nice.
So peaceful
Use to love skipping school and drinking 40s and smoking blunts here as a kid. Ah the memories. 5 stars.
Beautiful spot in buffalo
Even though the Scajaquada is immediately beyond the lake, the Japanese Gardens still feel intimate and peaceful
Small, but lovely and well-cared for. We had a picnic near the pond.
Small but cute place to relax and see cherry blossom bloom in spring!!
Always enjoyable, even in late July. Gardeners keep it up nicely.
Whats not to love? Beautiful cherry blossoms, trees, paths, the pond... A nice place to get a break
Not much to see. About a 5 minute walk throughout the whole park. The park has nothing to do with the name. Nothing Japanese about it.
Very small, very peace, you need less than 20 mins to walk all around.
Excellent place to sit and rest and just clear your head buy the reflection pond.
It was nice dont get me wrong but it was about as Japanese as a fortune cookie. Lovely though but poorly named
Beautiful! & in the winter, its awesome to go sledding!
Love this place.
Nice plants, bro.
Peaceful place.
Its gorgeous during the peak blossom season!
Nice place to get away and enjoy the history and beauty of the garden
So beautiful. Especially great when in bloom for the spring.
Calm and serene. The Japanese are great designers for this beautiful lake
Beautiful park
A great intercultural experience when visiting during the Cherry Blossom Festival.
Ive been there before just looking for transportation info. Meditation by the urban monks Sunday May 27th at 11am.
Beautiful place to walk. Lake was kind of algae grown.
Beautiful area, breath taking to see such a beautiful sight in buffalo. A beautiful place to have a date!
Nice view but not so big and no places to sit
Such a beautiful spot. It was like being in photos Ive seen of Okinawa.
Beautiful in the winter
A beautiful place to visit plenty of shade wonderful Gardens
Beautiful landscape and views of the art gallery and Hoyt Lake casino
Beautiful. Japenese cherry blossoms were beautiful. Went for my photoshoot.
Amazing architecture and Japanese accents. An awe-inspiring garden.
One of our favorite places to relax and unwind in the city.
Beautiful and Refreshing, serene. Absolutely a Diamond in the middle of Buffalo. Breathe taking.
Love this place
Hidden gym of hot lake. Well recommended spot for new things.
Beutiful cherry blossoms, ample parking, peaceful setting.
Very nicely presented...
Perfect picture places .... ..go for wedding shots
Way too expensive! They tried charging me for a cup of water to use the bathroom!! $2.00!! I went next door for free!
Very serene and beautiful to walk through.
Beautiful scenery an also has a pokemon go gym an some pokemon go stop
Very pretty and lots of Nature but not very Japanese based
Great place to walk and enjoy the cherry blossoms!
Great open concept. The park is maintained well.
Okay could be better should have baked chicken more healthier
Cherry blossoms were in bloom. Beautiful scenery.
Nice place to go for a walk or sit on a bench and relax
Small but very nice
Beautiful
Great place to walk get some exercise find your Center become a zen master !
Drive all the way there to find it is closed on the weekends. Isnt this when most people want to go out? Waste of time.
Awesome view beautiful start of fall colors
Peaceful, serene. Wonderful spot!
Looking Across the lake, , , ,,,, you can see where i married my best friend.
Enjoyed the peaceful time 😊
Beautiful must see
A nice place to be in the spring and summer season

2022-05-04Delaware Park and the Japanese Cherry Blossom Trees are very pretty. Everywhere is a picturesque moment. Its easy for any photographer to snap a picture and be happy with it. I flew my drone here and got some very pretty pictures!I also enjoyed seeing everyone walking their dogs, I might take my dog here sometime! Im sure itll be a great park in the summer with all the shade.

2022-06-21Decided to go here and have an impromptu picnic. Thought having sushi in the Japanese Gardens would be a perfect fit!Plenty of beautiful views to be had with a very diverse selection of wildlife that can be found without trying. Seen fish, turtles, and lots of birds for examples. Even got a picture of a heron.This place is absolutely a (not so) hidden gem of Buffalo.
Review №3
2021-11-17This is a really nice area, there is a trail that goes around the little lake where the Japanese garden is, you can find the stone stairwell right behind the Buffalo museum of natural history. The falls colors look beautiful reflecting off the water. I had a peaceful walk with others doing the same.Sorry for the duplicate pictures, Google will glitch and add them more than once sometimes 😊

2022-05-01Beautiful place. Come relax. Bring the whole family.
Review №5
2021-05-13Beautiful and serene scenery! Everyone is so chill there. It gives me chill vibes. Definitely recommend going there. It’s a stress reliever. Reminds me of the LoFi hip hop I listen to. I recommend going there during the spring and summer. And if you want the full experience, I recommend playing (if you know how) a Japanese instrument. Overall, beautiful place with serene and tranquil scenery! I hope you enjoy it!

2022-05-03A massive turnout for this years cherry blossom festival in excellent weather. A real morale-booster after the last two years. Great place to be out and about, and the cherry blossoms rose to the occasion (as they usually do!)

2020-09-13Its great there. I like to walk with my granddaughter there. They could do a better job at keeping the place clean. They do have garbage cans there, but people dont always use them. The landscaping is pretty. I recommend going there if you have never been there. Take a walk on the trails.
