If you have an extra hour or so to spend around Long Beach, head over to CSULB and on the west side of campus, just off Bellflower Blvd., is the Earl Miller Japanese Garden. Spending just a little time there, it's quite serene and it's sometimes hard to imagine where you really are...

A beautiful samll garden hidden on the campus of USC Long Beach. I literally spent more thime driving around campus, to find the garden, then parking, but it was worth it.Lovely and peaceful. Bring lots of quarters for the $2 charge for parking. Well worth the visit!

Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a lovely oasis in the middle of a busy city. Located on the CSULB Campus, once you step on the grounds, you are transported to another place and time. It is a lovely place to visit and take a break from the world. This place had been such a respite for me over the... More

My husband, 9-year old daughter and I went to this garden while we were in Long Beach this summer. My daughter enjoyed taking pictures there. It is a very beautiful and peaceful environment. It's small, so doesn't take a long time to see, but if you have time to linger it is relaxing and a great location for taking pictures.... More

I just love visiting the Japanese garden whenever I'm in LB. The atmosphere is just so refreshing, and I particularly love the little house in the back of the garden. Very tranquil; perfect for meditation, writing, reading, or just relaxing.
