The Japanese Garden of Ostend offers a peaceful escape into a meticulously designed landscape that blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with local flora. Visitors can stroll along winding paths past a tranquil koi pond, under carefully pruned trees, and across a wooden bridge. The centerpiece is a charming tea house, where one can imagine the quiet ceremony of matcha. The garden's layout encourages contemplation, with every stone and plant placed to create harmony. It's a small but immersive space, perfect for a reflective hour away from the coastal bustle. The garden is located in De Haan, a short drive or bus ride from Ostend, and is maintained by local horticulturists who respect its cultural roots.
