Compact, thoughtfully landscaped garden featuring koi ponds, arched wooden bridges, stone lanterns and maple/evergreen plantings — great for tight compositions, reflections and seasonal color (cherry blossoms in spring, vivid maples in fall). Best light is early morning or late afternoon for soft side-light and calm water; weekdays have fewer visitors. Located adjacent to the Museum of Idaho with street parking and short paved paths; mostly wheelchair accessible. Free entry; modest size rewards
