The Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix

Have you ever wanted to check out all that Phoenix has to offer? It's become a popular destination for Bach weekends thanks to the sunshine-filled days and access to bars, golf, trails, pools, sports, and more! As a Phoenician, I've put together this guide to highlight some must-see spots. These suggestions feature mostly 21+ establishments, but include a wide range of atmospheres for any mood. Enjoy recommendations for food, drink, and fun activities for everyone on your trip.

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of Phoenix and Scottsdale! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things Phoenix for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access! 6.75h from Albuquerque, 4.75h from Las Vegas, 4.5h from Joshua Tree, 5.5h from San Diego, 5.5h from Anaheim, 3.5h from the Grand Canyon Foodie city Suggestion from The Discoverer, good for Native American and Mexican influence.
