Shofuso

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

Finally got around to checking out the Shofuso Japanese House and Garden, just south of West River Drive off of Montgomery Avenue. After the $5 admission me, Melissa and I were required to take off our shoes. But then we messed up and walked down the wrong path. We kind’ve got yelled at, and were then told to wear paper bag shoes over our soiled and rock-ridden socks. The story behind Shofuso being built and taken apart to transport it from MOMA to Philly is amazing, and is described in detail in the guide. Surrounding the garden perimeter are many paths and picnic areas which line Horticultural Drive. It’s a very nice escape from the filth and hectic city life.
