Americans joke that people move to Florida to die, because it's so boring there. As for me, a tourist will definitely not be able to get bored here. Even in a place like the Japanese Museum and Morikami Garden. It is the only museum in the US dedicated entirely to Japanese culture. The area now occupied by the garden was a settlement of Japanese farmers who moved to South Florida in the early 20th century. In the 70s, the owner of the lands, George Morikami, bequeathed them to the Palm Beach community, with the condition that there would be a park here. And now the Morikami Museum is the gateway to the world of Japan. After paying $15 to enter, I immersed myself in a world of peace and quiet. On the territory of more than one hundred hectares in one and a half - two hours, moving in a circle, you can see ancient and modern Japanese gardens, a lake, streams, rock gardens. And also visit the Museum of Japanese Culture and Bonsai Exhibition. There are many secluded corners with bamboo benches and gazebos.
There are many visitors in the park: both old people and mothers with children, but this does not prevent you from feeling alone with nature. At the entrance to the park there is a Japanese restaurant with excellent cuisine, and at the exit there is a souvenir shop where every product, from sweets and teaspoons to kimonos, is marked with the cherished made in Japan. Full immersion in Japan.
