Japanese Garden — Attraction in Manila

The Japanese Garden is located in the northern part of Rizal Park, to the right of the Open Air Auditorium. The garden is entered through a small, straw-brown, Japanese-styled building.

There's also a lake with a lot of fishes in it. You need to take a closer look to actually see them since the water isn't that clear.

Another reminder is that the first gate you'll see for the garden is closed, so you need to walk a bit more, and you'll see where you can enter that'll lead you inside. It's beside a rock that says Japanese Garden. You can also enter through the house, which is also...
