One of the best ways to escape the frenzy of Buenos Aires is to visit the scenic and peaceful "Jardin Japones" located in the Palermo neighborhood.

The Japanese Garden is situated at the corner of Avenida Figueroa Alcorta and Avenida Casares surrounded by the lush green Palermo Woods.

Visitors are welcome in the Jardin Japones every day from 10 AM to 6 PM including holidays.

The admission fee is $4 pesos per adult over 10 years of age on weekends or holidays, $3 pesos for adults on weekdays, and $1 peso for children aged 6 to 10. Retired people or pensioners who are citizens or Argentina are allowed in for free Monday through Friday.

Guided tours of the Japanese Garden are given Saturdays, Sundays and on holidays.

A few of the sights you'll enjoy while walking around the Jardin Japones are the multiple ponds, small waterfalls, a bright red Japanese bridge, koi goldfish, Japanese stone lanterns, ducks, checkered lawn art, bonsai trees, koi windsocks, and meticulously manicured landscaping.

Arched Wooden Bridge

After enjoying a stroll around the gardens, we went in to the "Salon Cultural" (cultural center) to examine their collection of Japanese artifacts. Some of the items they had on display were traditional kimonos, dolls, paper lanterns and intricately woven silk fabric works of art.
