"Beautiful Japanese Garden!" Japanese Garden Tip by TrvlnGrrl

The Japenese Garden in Portland is known to be very authentic..one of the most authentic outside of Japan! Its pretty good sized, about 5 acres. You could easily pop in and walk around for 30 minutes..but it is a place best enjoyed slowly and calmly. A perfect place for contemplation, fresh air and rejuvination! It can be a little crowded on weekends, especially if the weather is good. I visited the other day, when the weather was overcast with a light sprinkling of rain...I only saw 4-5 other people and was able to realy enjoy the beauty! Please respect the rules...no smoking, no food/drink, no pets and NO CELL PHONES..so that others may enjoy the gardens!
