Donate today to our End-of-Year Fundraising Campaign and help honor our mission: Inspiring Harmony & Peace. Portland Japanese Garden’s journey began 60 years ago, not long after the end of World War II, when the community came together to create a garden of great beauty and to forge a healing connection between Japan and Portland. Help sustain this community treasure for generations to come by donating through the link in our bio.

"After World War II had torn our people apart, I wanted to help play a part in mending our relationship. Americans connected with the gardens by seeing the heart of the Japanese people through their landscapes and intention in nature. I view this Garden as a monument of peace that shifted people’s sentiments after we opened to the public in 1967. I am honored to see how the Garden has grown into the most authentic Japanese garden outside of Japan. The beauty of nature does wonderful things, and I am grateful to have had a small part in creating a space for healing. I thank the people of Portland for embracing Portland Japanese Garden sixty years ago and for your continued support as a donor and member in sustaining this treasured place."

- Kinya Hira, Portland Japanese Garden's first Garden Director
