Shiojiri Garden is a beautiful, tranquil spot. A great place to sit and cool off on a hot, summers evening!

Amazing park, more people should come here. It was absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful, if quaint Japanese garden. It has a gazebo, where reportedly weddings take place. Perhaps it once had a real water pond that dried up and now has a zen rock and gravel. Its open sunrise to sunset. On a working day, it had its fair share of visitors. A modest place of solace on a busy street just a block away. Worth a visit.

A very beautiful place to have a small wedding ceremony! If you ever want to plan any type of small outdoor event at this wonderful park, you better get a permit due to its popularity!!!

Beautiful park and a lovely setting for prom, senior, or family photos. Quiet and off the beaten path. This park is open SEVEN days a week, Sunday-Saturday but Google has it open M-F(which are the office hours.)

This is a wonderful and magical place for a wedding or family photo shoots! The gardens are a hidden jewel. A traditional Japanese garden featuring symbolic rocks, meandering paths & a teahouse on 1.3 acres.

Beautiful authentic Japanese garden in Mishawaka. I love taking a stroll through this garden and it so beautiful when the cherry blossoms bloom. Also beautiful for weddings, my sister had hers here and it was so perfect!

As someone who loves Japan, this was about as close as Ive been able to get to being there. It was beautiful, and tons of fun!

The garden was a lot smaller than we expected so we didnt stay long. I liked the idea of this type of park more than the actual park if that makes sense.

Absolutely wonderful. Very beautiful, and very well kept. Its gated, so its closed at night to keep people from vandalizing, which is awesome. The trees and flowers are beautiful in the spring and summer. Its nice and quiet and a great place to relax. Also a wonderful place for photoshoots and weddings. Definitely worth the trip to visit!

An amazing place to visit! It may be small but you can lose yourself in its quiet serenity. You can stroll through, do yoga, meditate, study or do photoshoots here.

Shiojiri Garden is a little gem nestled in the heart of Mishawaka. The scenery and visual aspects make it a wonderful place for weddings or just simple photography.

This is, in my opinion one of the most beautiful parks Ive ever seen. Probably about as close to a real Japanese garden as youll see outside Japan.

Wonderful little garden tucked away near the river. Mishawaka is sister city to Shiojiri, Japan. Gated, but accessible. Great place for pictures.

Beautiful but very small. Not enough places to sit. One couple was sitting under the shade and we went to sit and it felt like we were intruding

This is a cute little park. It is near a free water park and also a pool (which might not be free). There is also easy access to a trail along the river. Since there doesnt seem to be a lot to do in South Bend, this is probably one of the better attractions!
