Ownership Signatures Of Henry Atherton Schulze Dated May 1908 At Nippon Mura ( Then Later Inscribed In Dec. 1920 To Alfred Kemp). The Earliest Public Garden In Saratoga, California, Nippon Mura Was Located Near The Rail Line Of The Interurban Railway. Nippon Mura Was Created In 1902 By Mr. And Mrs. Theodore J. Morris. They Acquired 30 Acres On The Newly Opened "Blossom Trolley Line", The Electric Railway That Ran From Downtown San Jose, Through Los Gatos And Back Down Saratoga Avenue Into Town. Mr. Morris Was Connected With The China Japan Trading Company In Yokohama For Thirty Years, And When The Couple Retired To California, They Re-Created A Japanese Style Inn. At The Time Nippon Mura Was Opened, The Saratoga Area Was Already Well Known For Its Summer Homes And Retreats. Nippon Mura Offered Summer Cottages In What Is Described As A Semi-Oriental Style, Situated In A Garden Landscaped With Wisteria, Iris, Cherry Blossoms And Chrysanthemums. The Torii Tearoom Was An Important Garden Feature. Nippon Mura Attracted Distinguished Guests From Both Other States And Foreign Lands. Of The Three In Saratoga, It Is The Garden That Has Mostly Disappeared, It'S Charming Structures Now Nearly Buried Under Layers Of Additions. Most Of The Scenic Garden Has Been Paved For A Parking Lot. Today The Site Of Nippon Mura Is Known As Hacienda Inn, A Restaurant And Hotel Located On Highway 9 Between Los Gatos And Saratoga. But Garden Sleuths May Recognize The Significance Of The Area By The Giant Eucalyptuses That Still Appear In The Parking Lot. The Oriental Style Eaves And Rooflines Of The Early Building Are Also Still Visible, Although Finding The Shapes Among The All The Subsequent Additions Is A Challenge.
