Japanese garden, Japanese garden near Interlaken Castle, Switzerland.
The garden features a traditional Shinji pond representing Lakes Brienz and Thun, with islands depicting cranes and tortoises among waterfalls and stone arrangements.
Established in 1995, this garden emerged from the sister city partnership between Interlaken and Otsu, Japan, formed in 1978.
The garden incorporates Tsukiyamarinsenshiki techniques from the Nara era, with waterfall boulders symbolizing the Bernese Oberland mountains.
Located between Hoheweg Boulevard and Schlosstrasse, the garden remains open twenty-four hours daily and offers barrier-free access for all visitors.
The garden combines Japanese landscaping with Swiss alpine elements, featuring rocks sourced from both Otsu and Interlaken regions.
