dc.descriptionTea Pavilion Restaurant (modern commercial restaurant) and entrance to garden; A Japanese garden which is an expression of friendship between San Diego and its sister city Yokohama. The design is guided by the original principles of the Japanese garden while incorporating elements of the regional landscape and climate. The first Japanese garden and "Teahouse" was created in 1914 for the Panama-California Exposition. This was dismantled in 1941. The present garden was begun in 1955. Various landscape architects have worked on the garden; the first master plan by Fong & LaRocca Associates with consultant Takeo Uesugi was approved in 1979. In 1985, landscape architect Takeshi Ken Nakajima named the garden San-Kei-En, which means garden of three types of scenery; pastoral, mountain, and lake. The last improvement phase was completed in 1999. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 8/15/2015)en_US
