Osaka Japanese Gardens
-
At the north end of Jackson Park’s serene Wooded Island (which is excellent for bird-watching), lies this hushed retreat, complete with meandering paths, lagoons, and fountains. The extraordinary garden is a partial re-creation of the one formed in 1934 around the beautiful Japanese Pavilion that had been built for the 1893 Expo, but which sadly burned down in 1946. The gardens were renamed in 1993 for one of Chicago’s sister cities, Osaka, which donated the Japanese gate seen here.
