A Garden as a gift.

The Japanese Garden is a result of the friendship ties that the cities of Itami (Japan) and Hasselt have maintained since 1985.
Itami created this garden in 1992 to bring Japanese culture closer to its sister city. In return, Hasselt gave the people of Itami a tower carillon, a virtually unknown bell instrument in Japan that still resounds through the city during an annual concert.

The garden can be devided in 3 parts:
The first part of which is characterized by openness, sparsely planted areas, and wide paths. In forms a transition area between the western-style Kapermolen Park (1982).

The second part, the central, authentic Japanese garden. Here, you will find the Dragon Gate Waterfall with stepping stones, the iconic pine tress pruned in the traditional Japanese manner, and the Japanese maples with their pronounced autumn colours.

The third section, Kerselaren Park, is filled with an extensive collection of Japanese cherry trees and offers space for events and clebrations, as well as a moment of reflection at the Shintō shrine or a quiet picnic on the grass.

All information comes out of the information brochure of the park.
