Below: Today, more than 50 years later, not much has changed to the facade of the pagoda. The trees around the entrance have grown up. The garden is open daily from 9 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. Entrance fees to the Japanese Tea Garden range from $3-$16. Admission to the garden is free for all San Franciscans with proof of residence. The garden is free to all on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9-10 a.m. Photo by Megan Robertson.
