Japanese garden south seattle. Kubota garden is a 20 acre 81 000 m japanese garden in the rainier beach neighborhood of seattle washington. Winding paths and benches invite you to view the garden slowly and mindfully in all of its detail stones water lanterns bridges buildings plants and animals. Seasonal changes are constant and every visit refreshingly unique. The city acquired the property which is an historic landmark in 1987 from the estate of master landscaper fujitaro kubota.
