Portland Japanese Garden
United States
Приєднався 25 чер 2008
Considered the most authentic Japanese Garden outside of Japan, the Portland Japanese Garden is a haven of tranquil beauty in all four seasons. The Garden sits nestled in Washington Park in Portland, Oregon overlooking the city and providing a tranquil, urban oasis for locals and travelers alike. Designed in 1963, it encompasses 12 acres with eight separate garden styles, and includes an authentic Japanese Tea House, meandering streams, intimate walkways, and a spectacular view of Mt. Hood. In Spring of 2017, the Garden opened its new Cultural Village, complete with new garden spaces, classrooms, exhibition and gallery space, and the Umami Cafe.

As always so beautifully. I miss the Rose City. Go visit Portland's rose garden next to the Japanese garden. What a wonderful place
If KGW has given a digital copy of this video to the Portland Japanese Garden, it would be worth it for their own archives if they can enhance it a bit: lighten it up, improve contrasts etc. Based on working with still photos I suspect there are interesting images hidden in some of those shadows.
Wow, amazing to see the bones of different areas when they were in-progress!
く😅😊 も😮い😮😮😮😅😊
Most peaceful
Beautifully done from start to finish❤
