North Alabama Japanese Garden

Loved walking through this peaceful garden!

We were staying at the Monte Sano State Park Campground and the beautiful Japanese Garden is right next to it. The grounds are well groomed and taken care of. It is so peaceful walking through the trails. We sat down for a few minutes to just take in all the calming sounds of the birds, trickling water, the bees buzzing. Total serenity!

Love this little place... and all of Monte Sano. I've only gotten to visit the park during the cold winter months thus far. Here are a few shots from February 2020 with some frozen fog & frost on everything..

It’s was a beautiful little garden

Beautiful! Even in the winter

This beautiful garden is in the Monte Sano State Park. It is an oasis that should be on the list of best things to see in Huntsville.

Senpai enjoyed his time at the Japanese Spring Festival. Great place to walk pets.

Short hike but great way to start or end your day at the park

Wonderful place to sit and relax, take in nature and enjoy for all it's worth. A very short walking distance from at least 3 trail entrances, once you find the garden it is like entering a secret world. It's a magical place early in the morning, evokes a feeling of divine solitude, yet so very close to civilization. Could do with some maintenance, but the slight wear and wildness to the area adds to the splendor.

This was so cute. It’s on the Fire Trail so make sure you take a map with you. Sadly, some visitors have carved their names into the wood but overall, it’s so beautiful with its own rake garden. The Monte Sano State Park does cost $5 per person but once you go in, you’ll see why. It’s kept very well.

Very nice place. Relaxing.

This is a true hidden gem of Huntsville -- it's small, but it's beautiful, and they sometimes do Japanese Festivals, which are fun opportunities to experience small parts of another culture. Regardless of whether there is a festival going on, I encourage everyone to come enjoy this garden. It's a good place for non-hikers to enjoy the fresh air, and it's visually appealing for hikers as well, so it has potential as a bonding experience, too.

Beautiful park! My gf loved it and I got a smooch ^~^ may come back for camping

We like it and also we enjoyed the event japanese spring festival.

Very beautiful part of Monte Sano State Park. We actually had our wedding ceremony there.

They've done a great job of taking care of this place lately. They've added some new greenery and dusted off all of the spider webs. All around peaceful area.

This is truly an amazingly, calming, peaceful and serene place. This area was recently renovated, landscaping repaired or added and beautifully restored.

Very well kept and beautiful

Beautiful!

Beautiful little area, I love it
