Oostend: Japanese garden

The garden reflects in the ‘Kaiyusschiki’ style and includes water features, bamboo, statues and a rock garden. Wander the winding paths or simply relax and enjoy the peace and quiet with your own personal moment of zen.

Commissioned by Royal family of Belgium, it is situated in the city center, close to the beach, and villa of legendary Queen Astride.

King Philippe, the prince then, inaugurated the garden in 2001 in presence of the architect Takeshi Savano, who created the masterpiece on territory of 2500 square meters, Shin-Kai-Thei – a little island of Japan in Belgium.

Carps, typical inhabitants of a pond in an Asian garden, are supposed to bring luck to contemplating waters visitors.
