Description

Japanese Garden

Hasselt Japanese Garden is a beautiful park in Hasselt, Belgium, that showcases the traditional 17th-century style of Japanese landscaping. It is the largest Japanese garden in Europe, with 250 hectares of cherry trees, waterfalls, bridges, tea houses and other authentic elements. The garden was a gift from the city of Itami, Japan, and was designed by the Japanese architect Takayuki Inoue. Visitors can enjoy the serene atmosphere, the colorful blossoms and the cultural events that take place throughout the year. Hasselt Japanese Garden is a must-see attraction for anyone who loves nature and Japanese culture.
