Japanese Friendship Garden
2024 Mar 18
Nice place to visit but all the ponds were dry and no fish subsequently. Additionally, one could not walk over the bridge, access was blocked by plywood gates. I hope this place does not close and only witnessed improvements that were being made. Still a nice place especially considering the neighboors
Nethercutt Museum
2023 Dec 31
This part of the museum is free and definitely worth a visit. Check out the website to see when the tours of the train are scheduled. To get a full sense of the collection, I highly recommend scheduling your visit around the tours of the collection next door. It is only $10 currently and takes 2 hours. Note that a lot of the pictures in people's reviews are from this special tour so at least try to figure out the details how everything is situated to avoid disappointment.
Penske Racing Museum
2023 Dec 03
This is a small display of cars, perhaps about 15 to 20 of them that Penske had involvement in. As such, a worthwhile place to visit if you are in the area, especially since it is free. I especially enjoyed seeing Mark Donahue's F1 and Indy winning cars, though I wished there was a 917-30 and Indy Eagle. Also, I thought the PC5 was a Mclaren repainted, but learned otherwise. Walking through the high end car showrooms nearby was an experience in itself. One used Maserati was on sale but still over 6 figures;)!
Japanese American Museum of San Jose
2022 May 16
Definitely worth the visit. The back area is built to resemble one of the barracks in an interment camp, and some of the tools and paraphernalia of the time. One is able to get close enough for a good view, and it was a refreshing surprise to be able to go into the recreation of a portion of the barracks, it felt like I was there.
Tokyo Origami Museum

Worth a visit if you are passing by, it is really a small store with origami goods. Now, if you are really into this, may offer an opportunity to network or learn more about he craft.
