Things to Do in Philadelphia

Philadelphia is a treasure trove of attractions that cater to diverse interests. One must-visit is the Shofuso — Japanese House & Garden, originally a gift from Japan to the U.S. post-World War II. Initially erected in New York, it was later relocated to Philadelphia and now serves as the centerpiece of the Japanese garden in West Fairmount Park.
