Noguchi Garden 611 Anton Boulevard, Costa Mesa, CA 92626

"Amazing and accessible area for photoshoots and just relaxing with a zen vibe. Though it is small, there are plenty of areas to find great backdrops and also enjoy the architecture. I would recommend coming right before golden hour so you can set up and have enough time for the lighting."

"The fountain arena is a serene place to sit and read. Also a great background for photo shoots. ~"

"I can’t believe this gem of a place exists and is so accessible! I’m a wedding photographer and my bride & groom wanted to do their portraits in Noguchi Gardens and it was stunning! So much fun architecture and minimalist greenery that helps soften the texture of the space. I love that parking is available too!"

"Noguchi Garden is a place that feels unreal. I wanted to get away from studies for a while and go somewhere far, a place where I can forget it all. After looking through the maps for a while, I find the Noguchi Garden. After reading a bit of its history behind the art, I realize that it could be a nice place to visit. I got to the garden through the bus south and then walked on foot towards the garden. It was a little awkward since I was a casual student with a huge backpack walking down business buildings with people in fancy attire walking down and lightly staring. After a bit, I made it. It felt so unreal, something about the environment was so soothing to me. It may not be for everyone, as it can be boring for some people. But for other people like me, just sitting on the bench and staring at the whole landscape is just, serene. I loved it and I’ve visited two more times after school. Nobody was ever really there, it always felt like a safe haven. A place to get away from the metropolitan city and scholarly stress for once."

"Small garden with some interesting architecture elements. It's surrounded by tall buildings that can make great perspectives. The place is very popular for Instagram photos. Parkings are in a parking structure and it's reasonable for $9 for 3 hours."
