San Martín Plaza, one of the oldest in the city of Buenos Aires, in the heart of Retiro.
It is one of the few green spaces where several historical events took place.
In 1807, a combat was carried out, which ended in victory. In 1812, San Martín installed the barracks of the Horse Grenadier Regiment, so in 1878, before the centenary of his birth, he was commemorated by giving his name to this beautiful and enormous space. In 1942 it was declared a Historic Place of the city.
Japanese Garden, with elements of its own culture, is the only green space with distinctly Japanese characteristics. It is a corner that falls in love with everyone who visits it.
It was built in 1967, as a testimony to the visit of the Emperor of Japan, Akihito.
Located in the heart of Palermo, very close to the Bosques de Palermo, it is a space of harmony that cuts through the bustle of the city. It is like entering a world of Japanese fantasy. Without a doubt, we believe that you are going to fall in love with this wonder, so we recommend you go early and early.

All its elements seek balance and harmony. The bridges inside are symbols, such as the Bridge of God, curved and representing the way to paradise; the Truncated Bridge, which leads to the island of miraculous remedies, and the Bridge of decisions or Zig Zag Bridge.
In addition to its garden, it has a building that is a center for Japanese cultural activities for everyone who likes it. Also, it has an exhibition about their culture, with kimonos, paintings, origami and more. It has a typical Japanese restaurant to enjoy this delicious food, and a nursery to buy various plants and food for Koi fish, since it is forbidden to throw food at them that is not suitable.
