Portland Japanese Garden

If you're out in Portland visiting, I highly recommend coming here! It was raining when I went, but I was still able to see everything the garden had to offer. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and there's enough to keep you occupied at least for half of the day. It wasn't too crowded either and very peaceful to walk around the garden. There's a decent sized parking lot, but you do have to pay. Also, you do have to walk uphill and climb a few stairs to get to the actual garden as a fair warning. But I had a great experience and would come back again!

I go here every month with my family and it’s so fun! Never gets boring. It has a very nice cafe and gift shop :) I got my friend a really nice birthday gift from there. 10/10 would definitely recommend! Although I suggest getting a membership because it can get really crowded on some days.

Really enjoyed the calm and beautiful surroundings. Recommend signing up for the free tour on the day you plan to visit to learn more about the garden.
