Experience peace and restoration through winter renewal at Portland Japanese Garden. Only in winter are the winding “bones” of the trees revealed. Portions of the Strolling Pond and Heavenly Falls sparkle with icicles as temperatures drop. The stillness can help evoke a sensation of tranquility.

We are open from 10 am - 3:30 pm (guests out by 4:30 pm) all weekend. Book your tickets in advance through the link in our bio.

In Portland Japanese Garden’s 60th year, we are sharing stories about the Garden’s history. Among the most beloved features here is our iconic Moon Bridge. We had the honor of welcoming and speaking with the builder of the Moon Bridge about his beautiful contribution to the Strolling Pond Garden.

After decades of heavy foot traffic and Pacific Northwest weather, the wear became too great and in the remaining months of the 1980s, Garden leaders determined the Moon Bridge had to be replaced. Then-Board Member Tom Mackenzie knew his friend Robert C. Burbank was the man for the job. Visiting Portland Japanese Garden for the first time in several years, Burbank, still lively and vital at age 97, sat down with members of the Garden’s staff to discuss his stunning contribution.

“I told Tom it would take me two years because I had a small woodworking business on the side,” Burbank pointed out. “And then I fiddled around about two years in the making to get everything fit together.”

After those two years passed, it was time to bring the new bridge to the Garden. In the fall of 1991, Burbank and Portland Japanese Garden staff tore down the old bridge and replaced it with the new one. Burbank, ever humble when discussing his work, describes it as being a “really easy” process.
