Sendaj Garden Square, Japanese-style park in Maskouski District, Minsk, Belarus.
Sendaj Garden Square is a Japanese-style park in the Maskowski District stretching between Myasnikova and Nemiga Streets. The space features walking paths, seating areas, and a mix of trees and seasonal flowering plants throughout the grounds.
The garden opened in 2002 to honor the sister city partnership between Minsk and Sendai. Mountain cherry trees were planted in 2009 during celebrations marking this special bond between the two cities.
The garden draws its name from Minsk's sister city connection with Sendai, Japan, which shapes its visual character throughout. Visitors experience Japanese design elements that represent the relationship between these two cities.
The park is easily reached by public transportation from various directions via bus and trolleybus lines serving the area. Visitors can stroll the paths at their own pace and find seating throughout the grounds.
The grounds include a bamboo bridge and a decorative masks fountain that blend Japanese and Belarusian design traditions. The Batleika sculpture composition showcases this cultural blend in a distinctive way.
