Are you interested to experience the ‘Japanese’ Vibes?! Today, we explore a cozy nice atmosphere of the Japanese vibes but not in Japan! in hearth of Istanbul, Turkey. Join me in this walking tour in ‘Japanese Garden’ of Istanbul located nearby the Bosphorus, in Emirgan district and known as ‘Baltalimani Japon Bahçesi’ in Turkish.
On the way from Rumelihisarı to Emirgan, you can take a rest at this very pretty Japanese garden, inspired by the Chofu Garden on the Kanmon Straits of Japan. Complete with a traditional pergola, stone bridges, a natural pond and the famous sakura cherry tree, the garden was opened in 2003, which was the year of Turkey in Japan and was the be the first of a hundred Istanbul gardens dedicated to the horticultural heritage of Istanbul’s many sister cities. All the designers and workers on the original 2003 garden traveled from Shimonoseki to create it. During the planning, in 2001–03, it was decided that certain elements of the garden should mirror important architectural sites in the city of Shimonoseki itself. The most interesting is the entrance to the garden, which is modeled after the gate of the Chofu Garden, where the house of the great Samurai Nishi Yukinaga was located. Most of the materials where imported from Japan and, in fact, made in the city of Shimonoseki. The Japanese Garden belongs to the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB). For visiting here, the summer schedule is 8:00 – 19:00 and winter schedule as 8:00 – 17:00 (Every day of the week) and free.
