Kubota Garden is a 20-acre (81,000 m 2) Japanese garden in the Rainier Beach neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. [1] A public park since 1987, it was started in 1927 by Fujitaro Kubota, a Japanese emigrant. Today, it is maintained as a public park by the Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Kubota Garden Foundation. [2]
Now owned and maintained by the City of Seattle, this 20-acre garden is open year-round and is free to the public. Dedicated volunteers offer free tours and events that are particularly popular in the spring and fall, when over 100 species of Japanese maples are displaying their color.
In 1981, the 4.5 acre core was designated a Historic Landmark, and the City of Seattle purchased the garden from the Kubota family in 1987. The garden is an urban oasis, criss-crossed with streams and paths, ponds and waterfalls, rich with flora and fauna and a popular destination year-round.
