A hidden Gem! The Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden was created by Kinzuchi Fujii between 1935 – 1940 for Charles and Ellamae Storrier Stearns. Fujii designed and built Japanese landscapes across Southern California in the first half of the 20th century. The Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden is his only remaining garden. It's also the only intact example in the U.S. of a major Japanese-style garden created for a residence in the years leading up to World War ll.
