Garten des zusammenfließenden Wassers

The Garden of Flowing Waters features three connected sections with water streams, stone arrangements, and a central meditation pavilion called Nyo Suitei.

The garden opened in 2003 as part of a partnership project between Berlin and Tokyo, with funding from various German and Japanese organizations.

Zen priest and garden designer Professor Shunmyo Masuno incorporated elements representing time flow, with a waterfall symbolizing past, a pond representing present, and a stone garden depicting future.

The garden maintains regular maintenance schedules, including daily raking of gravel patterns, and offers guided tours with information panels about plant species and garden elements.

Three hundred Augen gneiss stones are placed throughout the garden, each selected to tell stories according to Japanese garden design principles.
