Yes, you can buy it at the entrance.

Multnomah County Library is now taking reservations for electronic library "Cultural Passes." These, available to Library Card holders, are sent via e-mail, and can then be shown either on a print-out or a mobile device at our admission window. The "Cultural Pass" qualifies you for two free adult admissions and up to eight free youth admissions. A library card alone would not qualify you for free admission to the Garden, but on your next visit to a Multnomah County Library, please ask about their Cultural Pass.

Honestly gorgeous. We went yesterday and found it breathtaking.

Suggest you Google it. Check a calendar?

We spent about 3 hours there. We walked all over, and then stopped for soup and tea.

There is a ticket office where you purchase your tickets for entry that may stow your luggage for you. On our visit I didn’t see anyone with luggage so can’t be sure. The international rose garden across the street is public so there isn’t any storage space there.

Hi Cherri, You have a few different options to reach the Portland Japanese Garden: - Bus 63 from Providence Park, will take you right in front of the garden but comes only once per hour - Bus 20, direction west, Tichner stop, is very convenient, although you have a 15 minute walk from the bus stop to the garden - Streetcar "MAX" blue or red line from downtown, Portland East or even the Airport, stop at the Oregon zoo, then take the Washington Park Free shuttle that will take you to the Japanese Garden/Rose Garden. Hope this helps! See you soon

No pets are allowed, only ADA (or trained) Service Animals are permitted inside the Garden. If you are in Washington Park, the Rose Garden and Hoyt Arboretum are nearby and allow leashed pets.
