Although the Japanese Tea Garden is always a spectacular place to visit in San Francisco, it reaches a whole new level in March and April when the cherry blossoms (Azaleas, and Wisteria) are in bloom. It is easy to spend a day wandering the paths through the garden and enjoy the feast for the senses it creates. The cherry blossoms are a beautiful light pink that creates a softness that is in stark contrast to the rich dark pinks and reds of the Azaleas.
