This Japanese garden includes waterfalls and koi-filled ponds, a wisteria arbor and a teahouse built in Japan with ancient construction techniques. The Strolling Pond contains the five-tiered stone pagoda lantern given to Portland in 1963 by Sapporo, Portland's sister city in Japan. Many events are observed in the gardens, including Children's Day, the Tanabata Star Festival and the Obon Spirit Festival. Garden curators also offer classes in Japanese culture and gardening techniques. Check website for timings.
