Rose Hills Memorial Park Japanese Garden

A five-acre garden with a 2 1/2-acre lake is one of the features of this picturesque memorial park in Whittier. The Lake of the Roses contains koi, and mallard ducks reside there. Other highlights include an arched bridge, an authentic Shogun monument, a meditation house called azumaya and stone lanterns.
