Facts and practical information

The Japanese Garden of Hasselt in Belgium is the result of a collaboration between the city of Itami and Hasselt that started in 1985. Hasselt gave Itami a carillon tower in November 1991, and Hasselt was given a Japanese garden as a symbol of friendship.

The Japanese garden is an extension of the Kapermolen park. With an area of 2.5 hectares.

Three parts can be distinguished in the park, which stretches along its length: a transitional area with the Kapermolen Park, the Japanese garden itself, arranged around the water feature and the streams, and the cherry orchard. The cherry orchard, which covers an area of about half a hectare, includes an open square and picnic areas, and can be used for various events.
