In a city that has - everywhere - blocks-long, free, clean, ultra-green parks and plazas in which…read moreto hang out one would be right to question why anyone would ever choose to pay to enter a similar environment. Chalk it up to curiosity. Days earlier we'd been intrigued when driven past Jardín Japonés and when we stumbled upon it while trekking back from somewhere else an immediate decision was made: we're going to this Japanese garden. It was late afternoon and summer in Buenos Aires and it felt like I was walking through fire. The green grass in this park is entirely off-limits as you stroll along sun-baked asphalt paths to view the Japanese structures, sculptures, and water features. There's benches to sit on but they, too, are placed almost entirely in full-sun locations. So my time here was rather brief; I literally couldn't get comfortable. In addition to koi ponds, food/drink stands, and gift shops, this well-curated park also features performances. As I enjoyed a cold drink a gaggle of kimono-clad women passed by en route to the stage where they performed (dance). I can't say I found this park enjoyable but I could see that it would be had I been there on a day and time that wasn't boiling.

Beautiful garden and a nice stroll overall. (I walked the whole thing in about 30-45min) Came here…read moreafter visiting the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, and it was a nice, peaceful walk over. While it's not as large or elaborate as some of the famous Japanese gardens I've visited in the U.S. and Japan, this one still has its own charm. There's pretty little bridges to cross over, plenty of spots to take photos (you'll often see people lining up for selfies), and some nice traditional structures scattered throughout. I totally missed seeing the koi in the pond! Perhaps it had been drizzling all day? Even though the weather was damp, there was still a decent crowd wandering around. The visitor center is handy if you want a drink, snack, or souvenir. All in all, it's a beautiful little escape from the city noise. You get a taste of Japanese landscaping and that peaceful, Zen feeling right in the heart of Buenos Aires. Worth stopping by if you're nearby.
