    My wife and I visited it from Costa Rica, thanks to the hospitality of our friends the Bonin. A few hours will never be enough to enjoy the beauty, tranquility, energy of that amazing place, how lucky the inhabitants of Portland are to have that oasis of peace!
  • I'm so glad that the original gardener came back to see what he helped create. Many thanks to all who worked to create and maintain this beautiful Japanese garden, this is now on my list of things to see before I die (turning 73 soon). The pandemic changed a lot of my travel plans but this garden is now #1 on my list.

    Devastating to hear how he was made so unwelcome, even stabbed (omg) when he was here to create something so beautiful. The Japanese Garden is pretty much my favorite thing about Portland, such a source of beauty and peace. I'm glad he was able to return and see how it has flourished here.

    Wow, I just stumbled across this video while looking for ideas for a Japanese garden. I never knew this one existed before and it is truly remarkable, being a Japanese garden in a climate supporting cedars and firs. It is a stupendous effort; I think it is the most beautiful public-scale garden I have ever seen.

    Deeply moved by the guy planting the garden and left and healed when locals accepted the garden. People are natural to suspect foreigners. Living together and seeing a garden exotic yet having its beauty really play a role in easing misunderstanding and tensions. Cogratulations.

    Great Japanese garden!! Love it! In north American I love Portland Japanese garden and Nitobe memorial garden in Vancouver.
  • I feel peace just watching this video. I saw this garden once, in a rush, didn't get to enjoy it much, but it is e gem in Portland. Thank you for this video. I will watch it from time to time.
