Editorial Review for Morikami Park & Museum – by Rick Munarriz
In Short
You will dive into more than botanical beauty at this tropical oasis. The attraction is divided into six gardens, each earthy creation representative of a specific Japanese historical period. Visitors looking for shade after their camera-clicking fingers tire can head into the museum, where a permanent collection features 5,000 pieces like Japanese fine art, tea ceremony utensils, and samurai armor. The museum also offers the story of immigrant George Morikami and the harsh difficulties of being Japanese in America during World War II.
