Japanese Garden in Rheinaue Park

As its contribution to the 1979 Federal Garden Show, the Japanese government commissioned the president of its landscape design association, Dr. Akira Sato, to create a Japanese garden. The result is an impressive example of Japanese gardening art, whose fascination remains unbroken to this day. Naturalness and harmony characterize the overall composition of the garden, which is dominated by two waterfalls, a lake and a 13-tiered pagoda.

A part of the current Rheinauenpark, which was newly created for the Federal Garden Show in 1979 in the north of the city of Bonn - at that time, as the federal capital, it was still the seat of government and parliament as well as numerous embassies - is the Japanese Garden:
"As the center of international diplomacy at the time, gifts from foreign nations also contributed to the successful appearance of the Rheinauenpark. For example, the Japanese Garden is a gift from the Japanese government."
