The Japanese Garden is a municipal park on the Avenue Princesse Grace, in the Larvotto ward of Monaco. It is next to the Grimaldi Forum convention centre.[1] The garden is 0.7 hectares in size, and features a stylised mountain, hill, waterfall, beach, brook, and a Zen garden for meditation.[1][2] It is open daily from 9:00 to sunset.[1]
The garden was commissioned by Prince Rainier III in 1994.[3] It was designed by Yasuo Beppu, the winner of the Flower Exhibition of Osaka 1990, as a miniature representation of Shintoist philosophy.[2][4]
In November 2024, the garden hosted an exhibition of Japanese Bizen ceramics, featuring works by Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki, as well as pieces by emerging contemporary artists.[5][6]
