description
The Japanese Garden in Leverkusen was originally created as part of Privy Councilor Duisberg's gardens. The 15,000 square meter park has also been open to the general public since the 1950s. Wedding couples like to be photographed in the romantic atmosphere and hobby photographers can choose from a variety of interesting motifs.
The design of a self-contained landscape is typical. The image of the complex is characterized by sculptures in the East Asian style and watercourses that are spanned by small bridges. Numerous camellias and cherry trees exude Far Eastern flair. Impressive sequoias, delicate golden maples and the chrysanthemums so popular with Asians lie picturesquely between ponds in which koi and turtles have found a home. Curved gateways and enchanting lanterns blend harmoniously into the ambience.
The paths of the Japanese Garden are designed to give you specific perspective views of the park. An attraction for visits is the Mikado Bridge, which was modeled on a bridge in the temple city of Nikko. A special attraction is the tea house with Buddha statues, geishas and water-spewing dragons.
