Buenos Aires is home to an extraordinary Japanese garden. El Jardín Japonés de Buenos Aires is one of the largest Japanese gardens outside Japan. It’s located within walking distance of Buenos Aires Botanical Garden. During our visit, the venue was busy with tourists, locals, and groups of school children. It is obviously a much-loved green space in the city.

The gardens include many traditional elements, with Japanese gates and bridges, a large koi lagoon, sculpted trees, stone lanterns, and an elegant tea house. While we were there, we enjoyed lots of colorful spring blooms, including cherry blossoms. We didn’t see any orchids on the grounds, but we did find Moth Orchids for sale in the nursery, along with bonsai, succulents, and garden plants.
