Overall I had an amazing experience at this Japanese garden. What stood out to me were those little rivers with small bridges ,and also the greenery which was beautiful. It also had a pretty good "Zen" vibe. They also had a little maze which was very fun, Id definitely recommend visiting.

The beautiful garden captivates with its enchanting array of colors and fragrances. Lush greenery intertwines with vibrant blooms, creating a tranquil haven. Each step reveals meticulous landscaping, a testament to nature's artistry. Serene pathways invite contemplative strolls, while secluded corners offer moments of quiet reflection. The harmonious blend of flora and design transforms this garden into a mesmerizing escape, where time slows, and one can appreciate the timeless beauty of nature. A visit to this garden is an immersive experience, leaving a lasting impression of peace and natural splendor.

Pretty little hideaway in the middle of the 14th District. Getting there is not obvious, and the fact that it is a part of the high school is really misleading (maybe a more visible sign would help). The entrance price is a bit strong with around 2.5 euros per head for a small garden you can walk through in 30 minutes if you're slow, but as I think about it, kinda understandable too. The garden is beautiful, well taken care of, really nice way to just get away a bit. The football pitch next to the garden is awfully annoying tho, ruins the experience if there's a football practice there. Some of the plants could have more texts and maybe bilingual signs (Hungarian and English). Overall, still deserves the 5*, due to the sheer love that goes into everything here and for being a cozy little haven among concrete pantheons

Such a sweet japanese garden in Budapest. Ticket costs 1000 huf for adults while 600 huf for students and pensioners. Can buy the the ticket from a machine, cash or card, both will work. Loved it this amazing spot a lot. So peaceful to chill in the park.

The location is about 500 meters from the tram station and quite far from city center. The entrance fee is only 500 HUF. The garden is small but has many beautiful trees to make one feel the tranquility. Some parts of the garden were not functional but it was NOT AT ALL crowded.
