Portland Japanese Garden
What people say
Portland Japanese Garden is a separately ticketed hillside garden above the Rose Test Garden; use its Welcome Center and shuttle rather than climbing from a distant lot. Warm weekends create heavy congestion. Check attraction hours, shuttle season, weather closures, reservoir construction, and event parking before leaving; never assume the park's hours apply to a ticketed attraction.
