The Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a Japanese garden encompassing {{convert|1.3|acre|ha}} 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 Imperial Gardens in Tokyo before designing the garden.{{cite news |first=Pamela |last=Hale-Burns |title=Edward Lovell created CSULB's Japanese gardens |url=http://www.presstelegram.com/news/ci_9047245 |work=Long Beach Press-Telegram |date=April 24, 2008 |accessdate=2008-04-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080426084049/http://www.presstelegram.com/news/ci_9047245 |archive-date=April 26, 2008 |url-status=dead }} Among the annual events held at the Japanese garden is a Koi auction{{cite news | last =Puente| first =Kelly | title = Fish lure bidders to CSULB | work =Long Beach Press-Telegram| date =November 18, 2007 | url =http://www.presstelegram.com/search/ci_7501405?IADID=Search-www.presstelegram.com-www.presstelegram.com }} and a chrysanthemum show.{{cite web | last =Schroeder | first =Shayne | title =2008 Chrysanthemum Show Set for Saturday, Sunday at Cal State Long Beach's Burns Miller Japanese Garden | work =This Week @ The Beach | publisher =California State University, Long Beach | date =October 20, 2008 | url =http://karl.papubs.csulb.edu/news-events/story.cfm?hackid=1045 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20081026030337/http://karl.papubs.csulb.edu/news-events/story.cfm?hackid=1045 | archive-date =October 26, 2008 | url-status =dead }}

In the trenching for the garden, evidence of the ancient Tongva village was uncovered in the early 1970s.{{Cite book |last=Loewe |first=Ronald |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/950751182 |title=Of sacred lands and strip malls : the battle for Puvungna |date=2016 |isbn=978-0-7591-2162-1 |location=Lanham, MD |pages=1–3 |oclc=950751182}}
