Portland Japanese Garden
#timetotravel There's something I learned when we visited the Portland Japanese Garden. My uncle said it was an act of goodwill by the American government after World War 2.
They didn't want Americans to fully hate the Japanese and instead have a cultural exchange by establishing Japanese gardens in USA. It was to learn from each other.
I was amazed by the thought of it and I'd really like to see more places like this. It was so peaceful here, a nice break from the city life.

Portland Japanese Garden can be reach by number 15 bus or the red or blue line light rail to the.Allow yourself one and a half to two hours to walk around and experience its beauty. For me I took about an hour half .It’s known as the most authentic Japanese garden outside of Japan, so you won’t be disappointed.
There are cafe , gift shop for souvenirs, and also a big pond with Koi fish which is pretty amazing. Most importantly bathroom is here as well .

beautiful scenery near city
if you are staying in Portland for vacation, this is a must see destination. it’s very cheap to get in and not far at all from the city! just a short drive from most hotels and locations in downtown. we went on a rainy day and still did not have any trouble with the location. there’s not mud or anything alike but we were prepared for such conditions. I suggest bringing an umbrella and looking at weather before you go if that’s something that’s important to you. there is also a lot of stairs in some areas and small hills so be prepared to walk on more than just flat ground. overall, it was a great way to spend a few hours of our day and not get too far away from where we were staying. #hiking #hiking #gardens

Portland, Oregon
Set in Portland’s downtown National Landmark First National Bank building, built in 1916, Expensify’s new offices reflect the company’s signature “choose-your-own-adventure” work setting. Since Expensify does not own the building, the design accounts for both the grandeur of the existing interiors and the realities of the lease term.
.
The main goal was to balance the space needs of the clients and the historical importance of the building by referencing the historic details and proportions. The brass was the bridging detail for this connection between contemporary and historical and made a significant impact via two brass-clad, glass-enclosed work spaces which dominate the central void. There is additional scope in the “Gatsby” style break rooms where the same metal is used for backsplashes, unifying the public and private spaces.

Portland Japanese Garden
🌸 Portland Japanese Garden, a picturesque and beautiful treasure! 😍
📍 This beautiful Japanese garden is located in Portland, Oregon, USA, and is a symbol of the friendly exchanges between the local people and Japan.
🎎 Construction began in 1963, and after continuous repairs and improvements, the Portland Japanese Garden has become a great place for people to relax and experience Japanese garden culture.

In summer, the trees are lush, and you can stroll among them and feel the cool summer resort.

Immersed in the tranquility of the urban oasis - Portland Japanese Garden!
The Portland Japanese Garden was established in 1963, consisting of 8 different gardens, covering about 12 hectares, and is said to be the most beautiful garden outside of Japan!
As a world-class famous garden, thanks to the support of North America's coniferous forest as a background, it allows carefully pruned dwarf plants, such as feather maples and other maple trees, to stretch freely in the garden!
The winding stream runs through the garden, and the stone-paved road leads to various destinations along a certain route, plus the magnificent view of Mount Hood, it is a place to abandon worldly thoughts and worries!
The garden's layout fully borrows from Zen culture, two 'out of nothing' dry landscapes, using static objects to express the dynamic landscape, can make people calm down, it is a tool for monks to meditate!
Various flower beds harmoniously create a peaceful atmosphere!
