Portland Japanese Garden

Portland Japanese Garden is an island of tranquility and beauty in Portland OR. Sixty-five years ago, Portland OR and Sapporo Japan created one of the earliest and most meaningful sister-city relationships between the United States and Japan. This connection helped renew and invigorate a friendship the two countries had previously shared. The friendship is ongoing.
