Japanese Garden, Japanese garden in Larvotto, Monaco
The garden features a mountain, hill, waterfall, beach, brook, and Zen garden across 0.7 hectares of carefully landscaped grounds near the Mediterranean coast.
Prince Rainier III commissioned this garden in 1994, selecting landscape architect Yasuo Beppu to create an authentic Japanese design following his Grand Prix at Osaka Flower Expo.
The garden incorporates traditional elements including a tea house, stone lanterns from Japan, and bridges that represent the connection between earth and paradise.
Located on Avenue Princesse Grace adjacent to Grimaldi Forum, the garden welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM until sunset with free admission.
Mediterranean plants like pine, olive, and pomegranate trees receive specialized pruning in Japanese style, creating a fusion of European and Asian horticultural techniques.
