This pagoda is very aesthetically pleasing, and the accompanying information about the symbolism behind pagodas and the history behind this gift from Japan is also interesting. That said, there isn't that much space to observe the pagodas without being blocked by the trees, and there isn't a great view from the benches so the area around the pagodas isn't really built for reflection or extended appreciation. Given that, I'd recommend seeing this given that there are a lot of other attractions nearby, but it's not worth making the trek from downtown just to see this item.

A cool piece of history on the 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.
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.
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.
