The Japanese garden in Hasselt was built and opened in 1992. With 25,000 m2, it is the largest authentic Japanese garden in Europe.

Originally, a Japanese garden encouraged meditation and contemplation and this is no different in Hasselt. Those looking for peace and quiet can find a bench here to listen to the waterfalls, view and feed the koi fish, have a picnic or walk around quietly and enjoy the changing view. Sometimes you can also hear the peace bell ring. Since 2016, the peace bell has had a permanent place in the garden.

A garden with waterfalls and bridges over landscaped winding rivers, with stepping stones taking you through oriental atmospheres...

Hasselt has been home to a beautiful piece of Japan for twenty years: an idealized piece of nature, a miniaturization of reality. Reconstructed as the Japanese have been doing for centuries. The tea garden in Hasselt is the largest Japanese garden in Europe. Here you will find beautiful cherry blossoms, red maples, bamboo and lush wisteria. The garden is an authentic symbol of inner peace and natural beauty.
