JFGM San Diego

The official Youtube channel of the Japanese Friendship Garden (JFG) in Balboa Park San Diego. JFG is an expression of friendship between San Diego and its sister city, Yokohama, that illustrates two cultures and creates an immersive experience into Japanese culture. JFG’s design is based on centuries-old Japanese techniques adapted to San Diego’s climate and florae and seeks to foster a relationship between humans and nature, providing a respite attuned to Japanese simplicity, serenity, and aestheticism.

JFG is a 501(c)(3) whose mission is to develop a traditional Japanese garden as a center to educate, engage, and inspire people of diverse backgrounds about Japanese culture and community legacy.
