Kubota Garden - A Slice of Japan in South Seattle 🌿🌸

Tucked away in Rainier Beach, this hidden Japanese garden is every photographer’s dream—lush greenery, serene ponds, and bridges straight out of a fairytale. Just remember: visit before dark (the area gets sketchy at night). ✨ Why Photographers Love It ✨ • Endless photo ops – from heart-shaped bridges to koi-filled ponds 📸 • Massive & wild (unlike the manicured Seattle Japanese Garden) 🌳 • Free entry (unlike some other fancy gardens!) 🆓 🌉 Must-See Spots: • Moon Bridge: Instagram gold at golden hour 🌙 • Hidden forest paths: Feels like you’ve left Seattle entirely 🌲 • Koi ponds: Watch ’em swim while you zen out 🐟 ⚠️ Heads Up: • Best for daytime visits (Rainier Beach isn’t the safest after sunset) 🌆 • Watch for invasive blackberries (yes, they’re cultivated but now they’re taking over—volunteers are fighting back!) 🫐⚔️ • No tea house (unlike Seattle Japanese Garden), but way more space to explore! 🍵 Vs. Seattle Japanese Garden: • Kubota: Bigger, wilder, FREE • Seattle Japanese Garden: Tiny, polished, $9 entry, has a tea ceremony hut 🍶 📸 Pro Tips: • Golden hour = magic hour (soft light + fewer crowds) 🌅 • Weekday mornings = solitude mode 🧘♀️ • Bring bug spray (those ponds attract mosquitoes) 🦟 #SeattleGardens #JapaneseGarden #HiddenSeattle #PhotographySpots #PNWBeauty #RainierBeach #FreeAdventure #NaturePhotography #Wanderlust #SeattleWeekend
