Jardin Japonais (Japanese Gardens)
Designed by architect Yasuo Beppu, the Japanese gardens opened in 1994
Fulfilling Princess Grace of Monaco's desire to have a Japanese garden in Monaco, this spectacular space is enjoyed by thousands of people each year.
Today, visitors come to the garden to meditate in serene surroundings, which include a waterfall, Zen garden, pond and tea house.
A great escape from the busy roads and streets of Monaco, this is a beautiful park covering 7000 m2. A stylised copy of nature, it features a waterfall, small mountain, a beach and several ponds, all within a zen concept. All the wood for the tea house and covered terrace was assembled in Japan and then transported to Monaco, as well as the stone lanterns.
