Portland Japanese Garden (traditional Japanese garden in Washington Park)

The Portland Japanese Garden occupies 5.5 acres in Washington Park and features traditional elements such as a tea house, strolling paths, stone lanterns, and carefully composed plantings that emphasize seasonal change. The site was developed with guidance from Japanese garden designers and is widely regarded as a major example of Japanese garden design outside Japan. It sits adjacent to other cultural institutions in Washington Park and offers views toward Mount Hood on clear days.
