The Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a Japanese garden encompassing on the campus of California State University, Long Beach, in Long Beach, California, United States. It was dedicated in 1981. Ed Lovell, landscape master plan architect for the University, traveled to Japan and took inspiration from the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Imperial Gardens in Tokyo before designing the garden. Among the annual events held at the Japanese garden is a Koi auction and a chrysanthemum show.
It is adjacent to the village site of Puvunga. In the Trencher (machine), trenching for the garden, evidence of the ancient Tongva village was uncovered in the early 1970s.
The garden is closed on Saturdays (when it is often rented out for weddings and receptions) and Mondays.
