Very cool place. I'd highly recommend going there for the style and the garden itself. Very nice to... read more
there is a path you have to stay on
lovely place to visit and cool down in the shadow during the hot summer
Just outside city center, quiet.
Japanese garden here, only open 2 short periods a year in Fall and Spring
We walked around the perimeter of this garden but on the day we visited it was not accessible. It looked lovely and was full of trees, plants, flowers and much more. It surely would be a beautiful place to walk through and relax.
It is only for a brief period that this garden is open to the general public in summer and in autumn. The garden is intimate, romantic and has different locations where you can imagine to be in Japan. The walk along the route in the park is not too extensive to be tired and offers enough interesting spots. It is well maintained and by keeping the opening days limited protected against too much pressure. Access is free.
Nearby you will find a tea house to take refreshments, tea or coffee or to have a bite.
Even though the Japanese garden has gained more and more visitors over the years, there are still days that can offer a less crowded experience. The beauty and tranquillity of this garden can't be found in any public garden around The Hague. Definitely a must see! :)
The japanese garden is open only for 2 periods during the year. Spring (April to June) and Autumn (October.
Lady Daisy after a trip to Japan, brought back to the Netherlands a number of lanterns, a water cask, sculptures, the little bridges. It is the only Japanese Garden in the Netherlands from around 1910.
It is definitely a place of serenity and reflection, even with the huge number of visitors.
If you are in The Hague in those periods of thge year, don't miss a visit.
