🍵🌸 Japanese Tea Garden Visit & Optional Lunch - San Francisco 🌸🍵

Step into a peaceful world of winding paths, koi ponds, stone lanterns, graceful bridges, and beautiful Japanese landscaping as we spend a relaxing Sunday morning together at the historic Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park.

Join your New Beginnings friends for a self-guided stroll through one of San Francisco’s most treasured landmarks. We'll take our time exploring the garden, enjoying the scenery, taking photos, and connecting with one another along the way.

Afterward, those who wish can continue the fun with an optional lunch at one of many nearby restaurants. We'll decide on a location together based on group interest. If you are not joining us for lunch, the tour portion of this event will end 12:30-12:45 PM.
