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. In this way, you will not be in a hurry and you can walk calmly throughout its interior.
Its trees are charming, and the entire structure of the garden is ornamented with traditional elements from Japan. It has native trees such as Tipa and Palo Borracho, and also a great variety of typical Japanese plants such as sakura and azaleas.
Another note of color is that in the lagoon you will find the typical Koi fish and carp of various colors.
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. For those of us who like to have souvenirs, rest assured that there is a store with a variety of Japanese items where you will want to buy everything! It also has a Chashitsu (tea house), it is a space specially built to experience the traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

The city of Buenos Aires has many attractions, activities and must-see places like this one. In this note, we tell you about several different plans to enjoy a day outdoors in this wonderful city!
Ecopark in Buenos Aires, formerly known as the Palermo Zoo, which was closed and modified in 2016.
You may wonder what happened to all the species of animals that lived in that place… those that were in conditions of disease and / or rehabilitation are those that continued on this site (some are still waiting to be released to this day), and the rest were relocated to more suitable places for their animal life.
It is a park open to the public in the heart of Palermo. Located at Av. Sarmiento and Av. Las Heras, it is in charge of the Ministry of the Environment and Public Space of the City. Several Special Projects have been created for animal care.
It is an open-air space with 16.7 hectares, suitable for the whole family, dedicated to environmental education through recreational and immersive experiences.
Here, you can learn about caring for animals and natural environments, through educational and recreational experiences, as well as technology through virtual reality.
Currently, only 50% of the park is open to the public, since the rest continue in works of heritage recovery, readjustment of spaces and other works that add to animal welfare.
The entrance to the park is through Av. Sarmiento 2601 and its hours are from Wednesday to Sunday (and holidays), from 10 am to 5 pm. Closed due to rain!
Given the situation of COVID’19, it has a maximum capacity of 500 people and, upon entering, the staff will take their temperature. Likewise, the use of a mask is mandatory to access.
Entrance is for free!
So, if you want to know a little more about the environment, the species and enjoy a day outdoors, this Ecopark is a wonderful option!
We leave you their website here for more information.
