In 1911, art dealer [[George Turner Marsh]] (who also created the [[Japanese Tea Garden (San Francisco)|Japanese Tea Garden]] at the [[Golden Gate Park]]) sold his commercial Japanese tea garden to Henry E. Huntington to create the foundations of what is known today as the Japanese Garden. The garden was completed in 1912 and opened to the public in 1928. According to historian Kendall Brown, the garden consists of three gardens: the original stroll garden with [[koi]]-filled ponds and a [[Moon bridge|drum or moon bridge]], the raked-gravel dry garden added in 1968, and the traditionally landscaped tea garden.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Wada|first=Karen|date=2012-04-09|title=At the Huntington, a Japanese Garden of new delights|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-xpm-2012-apr-09-la-et-huntington-japanese-tea-garden-20120409-story.html|access-date=2020-08-31|newspaper=LA Times}}</ref>

In addition, the gardens feature a large bell, the authentic ceremonial teahouse Seifu-an (the Arbor of Pure Breeze), a fully furnished Japanese house, the Zen Garden, and the bonsai collections with hundreds of trees. The Bonsai Courts at the Huntington is the home of the Golden State [[Bonsai]] Federation Southern Collection. Another ancient Japanese art form can be found at the Harry Hirao [[Suiseki]] Court, where visitors can touch the suiseki or viewing stones.
