Nestled in the steep, wooded hillsides of Portland Oregon's Washington Park, the Portland Japanese Garden encompasses 12 acres of trickling streams and meandering walkways, shaded with immaculately tended ornamental trees and flowering plants.

Designed in 1963 by Japanese landscape master Takuma Tono, the Portland Japanese Garden consists of five principle gardens, influenced by Shinto, Buddhist, and Taoist philosophies: the Strolling Pond Garden, the Tea Garden, the Natural garden, the Sand and Stone Garden, and the Flat Garden, with a pavilion gallery for exhibitions and special events. A cultural village and three new garden spaces were added in 2017, designed by architect Kengo Kuma.

Recorded in May, 2017.

This is my Zen spot here in Portland. I come here every chance I get and just step into Zen for hours. I leave refreshed, clear and open minded and relieved. I urge visitors to visit at least once every season to see the spectacular changing colors.

Our take away impression from our very first family visit and tour last year in August was an truly overwhelming learning experience giving hope to humanity in the perenially maintaining and keeping intact the true nature in our natural habitat and environment. Lee

I’ve lived in Portland for all of my life but haven’t realized that this even existed until now.

Stunning video, Anthony... It's literally been decades since I've been here. I lived in Portland from 1990-1998. 1995 was the one and only time I visit this gorgeous garden. You can bet the next time I'm in Portland, this will be the first place I go! Thank you for sharing this!
