My family plus my grandma went to the Japanese gardens on June 2 together. Since my grandma was in town we all decided to do something so we went to the garden, and it didn't disappoint. I personally had never been there before. The weather was great and we we saw the whole garden. There was a big pond with a lot of beautiful koi fish in it. They hadn't many various colors, like orange, black, white, red and grey.  We also walked over the moon bridge together. All of it was fun, and the garden was super beautiful. Can't wait to go again!

私のこぞくといしょににほんのにわにいきました
わたしはきれいはなとかわいとりとうつくしロクスをみます。
after going to he gardens I gained a new realization of what it is like to view japanese architecture. It was absolutely beautiful. The water was clear and there were koi fish. The koi fish really helped with the aesthetic of the garden. It was very cool to be among some of the great tradtionally japanese structures. These structures leave legacies and I felt like I was with the gods. Knowing that this is the same way that japanese ancestors constructed theirs, was very humbling. I am absolutely looking forward to going back and checking out the place. Hopefully next time I can bring my friends. Thank you for making this an opportunity for us, I am grateful! this was such a cool experience.

Misaki-San, Sydney-San, and I went to the Portland Japanese Garden. I went to the garden a long time ago. That day was really fun. The weather was really nice. The places I liked were the pond and the rock garden. I liked the pond because I love koi. The koi were very big! I also enjoyed the rock garden because I enjoy how traditional Japanese gardens look. The garden was a lot of fun, it was also very pretty! I want to go again!

Me, Misami and Masaki went to the Japanese gardens on April 21st together. I personally had never been there before. The weather was great and we we saw the whole garden. There was a big pond with a lot of beautiful koi fish in it. They hadn't many various colors, like orange, black, white, red and grey. Also, there were a ton of beautiful Japanese style plants. My favorite was the banzai. We also walked over the moon bridge together. All of it was fun, and the garden wasn't beautiful. Can't wait to go again!

土曜日 私は日本のにわをきました。私はながいにわにいましたから土曜日はとてもほがらか。いけが好きです。でも むずかしで魚を見えましたから魚がそしです。魚と花はとてもかわいくてカラフルです。みちのじゃりといしはうつくしです。私はみちが大好きです。にわのじゃりはれいせいです。

The garden was really beautiful and serene. The balance of colors and contrast between the plants, pond, and stone garden areas was really refreshing and calming. Sadly because it was such a nice day there were a lot of people making the garden feel cramped. I would go back to the garden, but maybe during a weekday when less people will be there. I had not been there since in 11 years, but will definitely not wait another 11 years before that happens.

土曜日にエリオットとドラといっしょうに日

土曜日にエリオットとドラといっしょうに日本のにわへ行きました。ぜんぶのにわを見ました。とてもきれいでした。私の一番好きなにわはいけのにわでした。いけはきれいで、たきが好きでした。そして、たくさん大きいこいがありました。こいはすごいでした。大きくて、きれいでした。日本のにわへ行くことはとてもたのしかったです。

It was really fun to visit the Japanese Garden! I think I have been there once before when I was little, but I can't really remember it so this was essentially my first time there. Everything was so pretty. I really appreciated all the little details that went into it. There wasn't anything within the garden that didn't appear meticulously maintained. My favorite detail was probably the interesting stone pathways. There were many different styles of path and they were all very nice. I also loved seeing the koi. I had never seen koi so big or of so many different colors before! I would definitely like to go again sometime. Next time, I'll bring some money to spend in the gift shop!

にわにいけがありました。いけが大好きです。多い魚を見ました。魚は大きくて、きれいでした。魚の色はオレンジと白と黒でした。そして、小さいウォーターフォールを見ました。ぜんまい(fern)の はんせい(reflection)はきれいでした。そして、川なみ(ripples)はとてもきれいでした。れいせくかんじます (calm)。中にもくぞうみち(wooden path)です。

I have only been to the Japanese Garden once before, so it was nice being able to go back. There weren’t many flowers in bloom, which was kind of disappointing considering how many blossoming trees are in bloom around town. There were several Camellia bushes in bloom at the garden, however, which ranged from white to pink in color. (One of the white Camellias had some women’s lipstick mark on a petal which was honestly pretty hilarious.) We spent the most time at the koi pond and the pavilion. I loved the wooden pathway that snaked through the koi pond, but I honestly didn’t remember it being so small and narrow! This is probably because the last time I was there it was a rainy weekday, while on this occasion it was a sunny Saturday. Staring at the fish made me forget how crowded the area was though. Besides the koi, there weren’t many fish or animals in general at the garden. There was a bird or two though. At the pavilion, there was a little bird making itself a nest up in the corner which was quite adorable. At the pavilion, I liked how it had its own sand garden next to it. In the end I rediscovered how much I enjoy the Japanese garden and can’t wait to go back again!

今日は、父といっしょに日本のにわに行きました。お天気はとても良かったですから、にわはいいかんじました。ぼくの一番好きなにわはいけのにわでした。魚はとてもかなしかったです。うつくしくて、しずかなでしたが、多い人がありましたから、ちょっとうすさかったです。でも、ぼくと父も好きでした。
It had been two years since I had last been to the Japanese Garden (I was in my Freshman year), so going here was really fun.  Not a lot of flowers and plants were in full bloom, seeing as it’s just barely spring.  A lot of them were starting to bud, though, so that was funny to see.  I have to admit, my father and I might have laughed at them.  I forgot there was the Moon Bridge, and my father and I spent a long time there just relaxing and talking.  All the small waterfalls were my favorite.  I’ve always loved the sound of trickling water.  It was very pretty and peaceful, if you ignored all the little children.  Nevertheless, the garden really was a very nice way to spend an hour.  I forgot how nice it could be.
