If you're looking for a Zen experience, look no further than the Japanese Friendship Garden. The
3.5-acre park is a symbol of friendship between Phoenix and its sister city Himeji, Japan. It took 50 architects from Japan more than 60 trips to Phoenix since 1987 to build and perfect the oasis. Here, you won't find Sakura, the popular Japanese cherry blossom trees, but you will spot purple leaf plums, Japanese maples, and evergreen pears that provide plenty of shady spots to take a zen moment. The garden is closed on Mondays. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for students, seniors, children, and military personnel with ID, and kids 6 and younger get in free. For more information, see the Japanese Friendship Garden's website. More: japanesefriendshipgarden.org/
