The Japanese Friendship Garden, also known as San Kei En ( 三景園 ) is a Japanese Garden within Balboa Park, San Diego. It is an expression of friendship between San Diego and its sister city Yokohama that binds the two cultures to create a unique experience for visitors from all over the world. Representing a new concept in the development of a Japanese garden outside Japan, the Japanese Friendship Garden is designed to present an atmosphere of elegant simplicity (shibui) and quiet beauty. The design is guided by the original principles of the Japanese garden while incorporating elements of the regional landscape and climate. A garden is always in a state of change but the basic elements of trees, shrubs, rocks and water designed in natural balance create a peaceful, harmonious, and transcendental environment conducive to contemplation and meditation. The Japanese writing on the plaque means, "San Diego the Beautiful" That alone is the sentiment as expressed in the plaque above presented to the citizens of Yokohama, Japan commenorating the affiliation of the Sister cities of Yokohama and San Diego.
