The Japanese Garden in Portland's Washington Park covers 5 1/2 acres in the hills west of the city. Opened on June 1, 1967, it was built on the site of Portland's former zoo. The garden is on Sunset magazine's list of top 13 public gardens in the U.S.
It's a lovely garden, very peaceful and serene.
