Many say that the Portland Japanese Garden in Portland Oregon is the most authentic Japanese garden outside of the country of Japan.
On a clear day, visitors can see Mt. Hood. I was lucky it was that clear during my visit.
Here are some pictures from my visit.

The peaceful Sand and Stone Garden.

Across the street from the Japanese Garden is the International Rose Test Garden.

Have you been to the Portland Japanese Garden?
I last visited these gardens after my UnCruise Adventures Cruise.

I wanted to go here when I visited Portland last winter, but sadly it was raining and too gloomy. Thanks for sharing your photos.
Thank you for sharing this post with your readers, Suzy. I am sure you will get to Portland and visit the garden.
These are beautiful!
Thank you. It is a beautiful place.
