At no time do the jewels of this garden sparkle more than now, when the Japanese maples light up with autumnal color, surrounded by natural and planted trees and shrubs in many glorious hues.

The Autumnal Beauty of Kubota Garden
Kubota Garden was began by Japanese immigrant Fujitaro Kubota as a private Japanese garden in 1927. That led him into the garden design business, which flourished for many years. In 1987 the 20 acre property was turned over to the City of Seattle to save it from development. Since then many improvements have been made as well as preserving the original core garden. It is open free of charge to the public, and has become a treasured gem in the crown of the City of Seattle.

Enjoy your stroll. We did!
We were restricted from crossing my favorite moon bridge because some large trees are being removed. I never like to see big trees taken down, but apparently there are safety and/or design issues. The good thing is that the city continues to fund this garden at its high standard.
