Beautiful simple stone pagoda in the Japanese style. A gift from the city of Yokohama.
(Proxy review for FDR Memorial)
I like it, it's a detailed monument. Features sculptures of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, his wife Eleanor Roosevelt, and his dog, in addition to segments highlighting the Great Depression and the CCC, as well as various quotes.
Personally, I believe that the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial might be more captivating than the nearby more famous Jefferson Memorial since it showcases more about the subject and highlights a larger scope.

Interesting find in Tidal Basin walk, quite a read if you are fascinated with history and how this piece of art arrived here!
Great little area to visit at this time of the year, when spring is new and cherry trees are in bloom. The iconic 400 year old gift of friendship from Japan since 1954, draws a lot of attention. There's a bench or two in the area, within steps of the FDR Memorial and restrooms are also available nearby. Great views of Tidal Basin.
Very weird to find something this small when you are looking on the map for something else more magnificent. None the less, while you are walking along the tidal shore it does look awesome.
A small stone statue given to Washington, D.C. by the mayor of Yokohama, Japan. This small monument is located close to the FDR Memorial so it's easily overlooked, however you should definitely stop and appreciate the view and the generosity of others.
