Portland Japanese Garden: an unexpected oasis | Portland food culture

I spent two quiet days in Portland, Oregon — eating well, walking slowly, and letting the city set the pace. From the Adidas Employee Store to Powell’s Books and the Portland Japanese Garden, this trip stayed with me.

This is a gentle travel vlog focused on food culture, design, and stillness.
I flew from Burbank to Portland, explored the city on foot, visited the Adidas Employee Store, browsed Powell’s Books, and spent time at the Portland Japanese Garden — my favorite stop of the trip.

If you enjoy slow travel, thoughtful city guides, and aspirational lifestyle content for midlife and beyond, this one’s for you.

📍 Places visited include:
– Portland International Airport
– Pine State Biscuits
– Adidas Employee Store
– Powell’s City of Books
– Jake’s Grill
– Portland Japanese Garden
– Mediterranean Exploration Company (MEC)

🎒 Adidas Employee Store note:
The store requires an appointment or access pass — details linked below for those planning a visit.

This video is part of my Life by Tiwana series — documenting places I go, at a slower, more intentional pace.

Thanks for watching 🤍
