Tora-san Park, Japanese garden in Floridsdorf, Austria.
Tora-san Park is a Japanese garden in Vienna's Floridsdorf district, laid out with stone pathways, water features, and traditional Japanese design patterns. The space provides a quiet place to spend time within the urban environment.
The garden opened in 2009 and marks 140 years of diplomatic relations between Japan and Austria. Its creation came about through a partnership between Vienna's Floridsdorf district and the Katsushika district in Japan.
The park is named after a character from a Japanese film series, with one episode actually filmed in Vienna. This connection links the space to Japanese popular culture and creates a bridge between the two countries.
The small garden has a drinking fountain and serves as an open community space without dedicated dog areas or children's play areas. Its simple setup makes it easy to visit and straightforward to get around.
The garden is one of seven Japanese-style parks in Vienna and is named after a film character that entertained audiences over 40 years of productions. This combination makes it a special record of Japanese-Austrian cultural ties.
