点评:Second time visiting the Japanese Gardens and was just as blown away by it's beauty, as I was the first time. I almost didn't get the chance to visit, however, I thought I would walk around before catching my flight back to SoCal. It was a Sunday and arrived right before opening and there was already a massive line to get in. You can get tickets beforehand and I highly recommend doing so because it fills up quickly! Since I was pressed for time, I decided to purchase a membership and bypass the 2.5 hour wait time and I am so glad I did! (Quick side-note if you have a membership you can access the gardens at 8 a.m., 2 hours before the general public and for the photographers out there this is an ideal time to capture images without having volumes of people walking into your frame...additionally tripods are allowed for a minimal cost). Walking around the gardens is absolutely breathtaking and especially going in the fall when the autumn colors are in full swing! You can literally spend a good half day here as there is so much to take in and I do recommend allowing for at least a few hours at a minimum.
翻译:这是我第二次参观日本花园,和第一次一样,它的美丽依然让我惊艳。我差点就错过了这次机会,不过我想着在飞回南加州之前去逛逛。那天是星期天,我赶在开门前到达,结果发现门口已经排起了长队。建议提前购票,因为门票很快就会售罄!由于时间紧迫,我决定购买会员卡,这样就可以免去2.5小时的排队时间,我真是太庆幸自己做了这个决定!(顺便提一下,如果你有会员卡,就可以在早上8点提前两个小时入园,这对于摄影爱好者来说简直是绝佳的拍摄时间,可以避开熙熙攘攘的人群,尽情享受美景……此外,花园里也允许使用三脚架,只需支付少量费用)。漫步在花园中,景色美不胜收,尤其是在秋季,当秋色正浓时,更是令人叹为观止!这里值得花上半天时间游览,因为有很多东西可以看,我建议至少预留几个小时。
