Japanese Garden of Buenos Aires
In a corner of the large Parque Tres de Febrero, on Av Casares and Av Figueroa Alcorta, lays the Japanese Garden of Buenos Aires, an oasis in the middle of the city. In 1967, the city government lent this piece of land to the Japanese immigrants in Buenos Aires, who in return made this beautiful garden for all the inhabitants of the city.
Its ponds are filled with large koi fish, which can be fed with the koi food sold at the kiosks, making this a perfect place to visit with small children.
The park is beautiful all year round, but the best time to visit is in early spring (September-October), when the multicolored azaleas are in full bloom.
There´s also a tea house and restaurant, which serves the best sushi and Japanese dishes in Buenos Aires, with the magnificent view of the gardens.
Location: Av. Figueroa Alcorta & Casares
