Beautiful place but not much to do. Just a walk around, a small but lovely waterfall, stepping pebbles across the little flowing river. We were in and out within 15-20 mins.

A beautiful small Japanese garden in the heart of Istanbul. It was nice to stroll around the garden. However, it would look even prettier when the sakura flowers bloom. Entry is free.

Even thought it is a small garden, it is cool place to visit. There are auto parks around where you can park your car and take a small walk. In park, there is a traditional Japanese house. when we get there, it was closed. I am not sure if they let you to get in and see around. Just let you know…
What disappointed me is there is a lake without any Japanese traditional fishes. On the other hand, it is calm place, good to see for few minutes in your spare time.

The park is really nice, but I thought it would be bigger in size. Yet, it looks beautiful and gives feeling of relaxation and unwinding. The plants are beautiful, so you can take a few nice pictures.
The average time to walk around this park is 15-20 minutes. There are no other activities in it rather than walking, so I would recommend visiting it only you are locating nearby. There is no need to go to it from another part of the city.

A public park with a Japanese theme. There are many Japanese styles structures. The park also has a pond with water flowing through small falls. There are no pets allowed in the park. I went there during winter time and the park looked a little bit grim. I’m sure during spring and summer it would look more revealing.
