Because of the narrow paths and the special facility, restrictions apply to prams, wheelchairs and dogs in the Leverkusen Japanese Garden. A barrier-free circular path leads around the garden, which provides a good view of almost the entire complex.

location
The Japanese Garden is integrated into the Carl Duisberg Park. It is located on the outskirts of Leverkusen in the Flittard district of Cologne.
description
The Japanese Garden in Leverkusen was originally built 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 offer 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 as well as watercourses that are spanned by small bridges. Numerous Camellias and cherry trees spread a Far Eastern flair. Impressive sequoia trees, delicate golden maples and those so popular with Asians Chrysanthemums are picturesquely situated between ponds in which koi and turtles have found a home. Curved gate structures and enchanting lanterns blend harmoniously into the ambience.
The paths of the Japanese Garden are laid out in such a way that they give you certain perspective views of the park. A point of 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-spouting dragons.
Tips
If you love to stroll through parks, you should also visit the Neulandpark Leverkusen. Let yourself be inspired by the beautiful household and themed appliances and relax on one of the numerous benches or the large sunbathing lawn.
