Portland Japanese Garden

Beautiful and decently sized Japanese garden with koi ponds, zen gardens, waterfalls, bonsai trees, and Japanese history. Must purchase an admission ticket or be a member for entrance. There is a very cute gift shop and cafe serving tea and snacks at the top of the hill. Parking close by is limited and crowded, even with a garden admission ticket, so arrive early to get a close by parking spot or you’ll have to walk a far ways up a hilly road.

Beautiful scenery, plenty of places to sit and rest. Little waterfalls, and plenty of shade. There are stairs, and in the beginning you are walking a fair ways uphill on pavement so if you are currently injured....take breaks, but even on crutches you will enjoy this place.

It's a beautiful, small-ish garden, with a lot of truly awesome sights and incredibly well-managed. It is also pretty small, perhaps taking one-to-two hours to walk through. At the current ticket price of $21 dollars a person (plus parking), it's quite the investment to visit. If you really enjoy Japanese gardens, this may be the best one stateside. Just not cheap.

I thought it was overpriced at first, but the garden is very well manicured and the staff is friendly and available. It is a nice get away inside the city, perfect for a mini vacation or quick sight seeing. Parking is a challenge and slightly frustrating, but you can find a nice spot to meditate and decompress once you get inside the garden :)

Smaller than expected. A nice climb and very easy to walk with kids. Parking lot is small and spaces are limited. You must download an app to pay for parking. Beautiful gardens and a koi pond with a small waterfall. There is a cafe that was very crowded, a gift shop and two bathrooms.
