Welcome TO Seattle Japanese Garden

The Experience

Seattle Japanese Garden is a 3.5 acre urban sanctuary. Winding gravel paths and stone benches invite you to view the garden slowly and mindfully, in all of its detail - rock, water, lanterns, bridges, buildings, plants and animals. Seasonal changes are constant and every visit refreshingly unique. Find out more. 

 

Your Visit

Visit in each season to appreciate the full beauty of the garden. The slow transformation of spring to summer to autumn connects us with nature and reminds us of the beauty and impermanence of life.

Enjoy a perfect visit to the garden by planning ahead. See our full annual schedule here.
