Buenos Aires Japanese Gardens, Japanese garden in Palermo district, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Buenos Aires Japanese Gardens is a Japanese garden in Palermo district covering about two hectares. The grounds feature a central lake with red bridges, surrounded by South American and Japanese plants, along with granite sculptures and water elements.
The gardens were established in 1967 by the Japanese Argentine Cultural Foundation to honor Crown Prince Akihito and Princess Michiko's visit to Argentina. This founding marked the beginning of Japanese-Argentine cultural collaboration in the country.
The garden holds a Buddhist temple, a Peace Bell, and stone lanterns that reflect traditional Japanese artistic forms. These elements shape how the space feels and invite visitors to experience Japanese aesthetic traditions.
The grounds have a greenhouse shop where visitors can purchase Japanese plants and an on-site restaurant serving authentic cuisine. Daily cultural activities take place, offering chances to experience local traditions.
The grounds feature two distinctive bridges: the Divine Bridge and the Truncated Bridge leading to an island where Japanese medicinal herbs grow. These unusual structures are carefully designed and tell their own stories through their architectural forms.
