Hakone is one of the oldest Japanese gardens in the Western Hemisphere, established in 1915. It is one of the prime land marks by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. It is an authentic replica of Japanese Samurai or Shogun’s estate garden, designed by one of descendent of the imperial gardening family members.
Located in the Saratoga hills, Hakone occupies more than 18 acres of chaparral, woodland and manicured Japanese gardens. It was designed and built by San Francisco cultural leaders Isabel and Oliver Stine; after falling into disrepair Hakone was rescued in the 1960’s by a group of prominent Chinese families. Today Hakone is owned by the City of Saratoga and administered by the Hakone Foundation.
2011 Hakone Matsuri/Festival photos were taken by John Cramer, Kirk Bender, and Sabrina Huang.
