Seattle Japanese Garden Pavilion

The original Seattle Japanese Garden, designed in 1959 by Japanese Garden Master K. Inoshita and Juki Iida, and constructed in 1960, is considered a “stroll garden” consisting of a central pond and meandering path around it.

Located at the north end of the Japanese Garden at the Washington Park Arboretum, the Pavilion project is positioned as a continuation of the original garden design to include a structure as a backdrop to the scenery.

The moon viewing pavilion, or Tsukimi-en, and terrace create a gathering space for visitors and community to connect with the garden, its history, and cultural context in the Pacific Northwest.
