Japanese Friendship Gardens – Phoenix, AZ

May 27, 20101

Here are some photos of our visit to the Japanese Friendship Gardens in Phoenix, Arizona.

This tranquil place is next to a park that covers Interstate 10 for almost a mile as it goes through downtown Phoenix.

We especially enjoyed the hundreds of very large and healthy Koi in the pond.

Beautiful trees, rocks and waterfalls are all over the park.

About half way through our visit we bought them a bag of food for $1.

Another hungry Koi.

Here’s my wife feeding the Koi (and the ducks).

Look at the go after the food pellets.

A veritable feeding frenzy. Notice the duck getting in on the action.

One more handful for the throng of hungry Koi.

A peaceful ending to a lovely day at this beautiful park.
