JAPANESE GARDEN KAISERSLAUTERN
The Japanese Garden in Kaiserslautern is the largest closed Japanese Garden in all of Europe and was also the first in Rhineland-Palatinate. With an area of approx. 13,500 square meters, the garden not only impresses with its size, but also with its authentic ambience and design overall. Very close to the city center of Lauterer, an exotic garden paradise was thus created, which was opened in the year 2000. The Japanese Garden convinces with its design and planting, which are both in no way inferior to the originals in Japan.
