Peace, harmony, and tranquility
The Japanese Garden is a popular attraction in Portland. Once you enter it, you truly feel like it's a living reflection of Japan's natural world, tradition and culture. There are 5 garden styles within the Japanese garden; flat garden, strolling pond garden, tea garden, natural garden, and the sand stone garden. The paths weave you through each one, admiring the landscaping and native Japanese trees, plants, and flowers. Admire the koi pond, take a relaxing breath at the zen garden, browse in the teahouse, and walk on the path that connects everything. To quote the garden's website, "When we enter a Japanese garden, the desired effect is to realize a sense of peace, harmony, and tranquility and to experience the feeling of being a part of nature." The Portland Japanese Garden helps you connect with your inner self as well as the natural world in a serene Japanese setting.
