Cheryl's View // Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens

Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens is such a pretty and peaceful place.  It's hard to believe that it sits so close to town.  Once you cross the first bridge onto the trails its like you step into another world. 

My daughter and I arrived just as they opened on a bright and sunny morning.  We were greeted by volunteer staff that were pretty amazing, they were very friendly and helpful.  They gave us our visitors guide and pointed us in the right direction.  There is so much to see and enjoy.  I could have walked around for hours.  The trails are shaded and the flowers trees  are beautiful.  There are 25 specific areas in the garden and the visitors guide gives a brief description of each area.  You will get to stroll through a bamboo grove, view several rock gardens, see several small waterfalls and you can even have your picture taken with Buddha.
