Guadalupe River Park & Gardens |
438 Coleman Ave San Jose, CA 95110 United States 408-298-7657 http://www.grpg.org |
Crawling for three miles alongside the Guadalupe River and harnessing Highway 87, this unique natural environment contains a rose garden, jogging trails, several species of birds and lots of picnic tables. Nestled in a particularly scenic spot in the South Bay, it is a great place for a day's outing or a slow leisurely walk. Improvements are ongoing and when it is finally completed, it will be a spectacular place for everyone in the family. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Temple in Japantown |
640 North Fifth Street (between Jackson and Taylor streets) San Jose and Silicon Valley, CA 95112 United States +1 408 293 9292 http://www.sjbetsuin.com/ |
This temple is a fabulous one to look at from the outside, as it is the only Japanese-style building in the immediate area. There is a pond outside, and the temple is right around the corner from many fine Japanese restaurants. The temple offers flower-arranging classes (also known as ikebana), Japanese language classes and judo practice. The central figure of the temple's altar is a traditionally ornate statue of the Buddha Amida, sculpted according to the Jodo Shinshu Nishi Hongwanji school of Buddhism. Review © 2007, Wcities |

What may be the world's largest flea market (that is the claim, anyway) covers nearly 120 acres and offers lots of parking. Browse goods from more than 2,000 sellers, some commercial, some private. Everything is here: arts and crafts, produce, clothing, furniture, tires, bicycles, music, electronics, collectibles, shops, markets, barbecues or knick-knacks. It is a great destination for the bargain hunter. Admission is free, but parking is $5 on weekends and $1 on weekdays. Some vendors may accept credit cards. Review © 2007, Wcities |
