The Gardens sit nestled in Portland, Oregon within the city and providing a tranquil, urban oasis for locals and travelers alike. Designed in 2018, it encompasses 3 acres with four gardens, and includes an authentic Japanese Tea House, meandering streams, intimate walkways, and a floating resturamt. This is a place to discard worldly thoughts and concerns and see oneself as a small but integral part of the universe. We hope to provide a uniqe experince
Born out of a hope that the experience of peace can contribute to a long lasting peace. Born out of a belief in the power of cultural exchange. Born out of a belief in the excellence of craft, evidence in the Garden itself and the activities that come from it. Born out of a realization that all of these things are made more real and possible if we honor our connection to nature.

The expression of Japanese culture, tradition, and aesthetics. Cultural authenticity directed to the needs of diverse local, national, and international communities.
