Hakone Gardens

Visiting a 19th-century Japanese residential garden.

A couple of weeks ago, Rae and I visited Hakone Gardens, a 19th-century Japanese residential garden in Saratoga. I've always wondered what Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's Japanese-style home looks like in Woodside; I bet a part of it resembles Hakone Gardens!

Visit if you are in the mood for a relaxing afternoon on the weekend. Here are some photos from our excursion to Hakone Gardens.
