View at Setagaya park in Vienna

Setagaya park located in Vienna’s 19th district is a place where you can discover a beautiful, small but quiet Japanese garden. More than 4000 m2 park was laid out by the Japanese garden designer Ken Nakajima in the early 1990s.

The name of the Park was given as Döbling (Vienna’s 19th district) and the district of Setagaya in Tokyo has a long friendship and cultural agreement. Which, rose to the idea of establishing a Japanese garden in Vienna’s 19th district.

Setagaya park emulates a Japanese landscape with several ponds and streams. It contains the densely planted garden elements that are typical for Japanese gardens.
