For more than 50 years, Portland Japanese Garden has been a haven of serenity and tranquility, nestled in Portland’s iconic Washington Park. The Garden is composed of eight unique garden spaces. From the lush greens of the Strolling Pond Garden to the spare empty space of the Sand and Stone Garden, each style demonstrates unique aspects of Japanese garden history and design.
In 2017, world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma designed a Cultural Village, adding more room for education and exploration. With frequent exhibitions and demonstrations and an authentic Japanese style tea café, Umami Café, Portland Japanese Garden aims to expose our visitors to the best of Japanese culture. Stroll around, slow down, and let your senses guide you into another world.
