360 Virtual Tour of Kubota Japanese Garden

Description

Kubota Garden (also known as Kubota Japanese Garden) is a stunning treasure nestled in South Seattle. It has been a public park since 1987, and spans 20 acres integrating Japanese garden principles with native Northwest vegetation. Explore the meticulously maintained paths and take in the breathtaking scenery of hills and valleys with streams, waterfalls, ponds, bridges, and rock formations, all accompanied by a diverse array of plant life. Don’t forget to visit the two iconic Japanese red bridges which provide more than just a practical function, but also hold strong spiritual connotations adding to the meditative experience of the garden.

Spring, Summer, or Fall?

Kubota Garden in the summer offers a symphony of serene greens, from leaves filtering light to the countless evergreen specimens each with careful or riotous manicuring, and with acres to explore, let your curiosity and whimsy guide your path. Return for fiery fall colours or hundreds of spring blooms. Admission to this stunning Japanese garden in the city is free with donations welcome. It’s truly a wonderful place to visit any time of year!

Professional Photoshoots at Kubota Garden?

If you’re looking for a beautiful spot for your next photoshoot, Kubota Garden is a fantastic option! It’s actually a very popular spot for professional photoshoots, and I can see why – our family took some amazing photos here in the Fall of 2022. Even if you’re just looking to snap some casual photos, feel free to visit and enjoy the beauty of Kubota Garden! For those planning a professional photoshoot, just know that you’ll need to obtain a permit from Seattle Parks & Recreation. You can find out more about the permit process on the Kubota Garden website.
