As others have mentioned this is a wonderful little park in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires. I did notice the air traffic some, but the car traffic noise was somthing that I did not seem to notice, probably because I was fascinated with the beauty of the garden. The garden has all of the traditions... More

Shame about the airport being so close by, and being surrounded by busy roads. Potentially could be a very relaxing haven if it weren't for the noise. Nice to walk through (but costs $16 pesos) and it does represent Japanese gardens well, but I'd only go here if you had time to fill in. More

Who knew Buenos Aires held such a lovely garden in the middle of the city? We really enjoyed visiting this though it would have been much prettier in the spring when all the azaleas would have been blossoming. Don't miss their restaurant! More

What to expect to a place like this? It's beautiful. It's a garden. It's japonese. And it's clean, quiet and peaceful, great for couples and children. But that's it. It's not expensive - around 16 pesos per person - but I really think Rosendal and all the green area around Recoleta is more worth. If you don't have a Japanese... More

Stroll through this beautiful garden, feed the Koi, or just sit and read a book. This is a serene venue to spend a few hours. More

I was pretty underwhelmed and would not recommend unless you have nothing else to do. We ate at the restaurant and while the food was excellent with great presentation, I found it expensive and the portions were tiny. My partner and I always share an appetizer, main meal and dessert. We were starving so we ordered two appetizers along with... More

Its nice and everything but you are visiting Buenos Aires, not Japan, so I wouldn't waste my time going to the Japanese Garden when you can visit places with a real latin and "porteño" feeling. More

The redeeming factor of this park (and therefore my 3 stars and not less) is the very low entry price of 16 pesos per person. You don't expect much for this kind of money in Buenos Aires, and that's exactly what you get - not much. The park is very small, has a lake with lots of carp, a couple... More
