I visited Portland’s Japanese Garden in April. It was absolutely beautiful. This will sound cheesy, but when you go up the hill to the garden’s entrance, it feels like you’re being transported into a dreamscape. Spring is a wonderful time to visit because the cherry blossoms are blooming all around you, and the ground is covered in pink. My only regret is that I didn’t take more opportunities to just sit and take it all in. I’ll definitely be going back.
