The Japanese Garden at Clingendael is a hidden gem open only 8 weeks per year, in spring and autumn. Created in the early 20th century by Baroness Marguerite van Brienen using original lanterns, bridges, and a pavilion shipped from Japan. Declared a national monument in 2001, it features Japanese maple trees, tranquil ponds, and a spiritual atmosphere.
Only open spring (late April - early June) and autumn (2 weeks October). Check website for exact dates
Early morning on weekdays for peaceful experience. Autumn colors in October are spectacular. No parking in the garden - use nearby streets.
