Higurashi-en is an authentic historic oriental garden and tea house first developed in the 1880's by Peninsula pioneer Henry Bowie. The property later became part of the Eugene de Sabla estate. Joan and Achille Paladini, current owners, restored the garden and tea house and had it placed on the National Register for Historic Places so that future generations will be able to enjoy this treasure and symbol of friendship between the United States of America and Japan.
