Japanese Garden Kaiserslautern

Experience the Far East like never before!

A piece of the Far East in the South West... you don't have to travel to Japan to discover the beauty and meditative effect of a Japanese garden.
In 2000, the Japanese Garden Kaiserslautern opened its doors to those seeking to draw strength and peace from the artistic harmony between light and shadow, plants and stones, water and paths...

One of the most beautiful "by-products" of Kaiserslautern's contact with its Japanese twin city Bunkyo-ku is the Japanese Garden, which has been constantly extended and perfected since its opening.
It is one of the most beautiful and largest parks of its kind in Europe!

Typical elements of Japanese gardens include ponds, waterfalls, stone compositions, gravel, teahouses, mossy gardens and stone lanterns. European visitors do not necessarily need to be aware of their original cultural significance to feel the meditative effect of this artistically arranged garden.

The garden appears impressive and in full flourish. This is mainly due to its optimal location – an old park whose ancient copper beeches, giant tree hazelnuts and rare tulip trees have been added to the Japanese Garden Kaiserslautern and are a real stroke of luck for both the designers and visitors alike.

Cultural events such as painting and Ikebana courses, exhibitions and activities enrich the programme of the Japanese Garden Kaiserslautern.
