Obon Matsuri at the Japanese Garden, great summer evening!

While we have visited the Japanese Garden many times, we never visited the garden on a summer evening. However, Obon Matsuri was worth a visit. During two summer evenings in August, the Japanese Garden celebrates Obon Matsuri, which includes Tōrō Nagashi. After sunset, the garden was decorated with floating paper lanterns, turning the pond in front of the tea house into a sea of lights which was accompanied by festive Japanese music and performances.

Japanese Garden Hasselt beautiful
Today I was very fortunate to go to visit the Japanese garden in Hasselt. It was the last day of 2020 and the autumn colours were gorgeous. Furthermore it was the chrysanthemum festival so beautiful flowers everywhere. Very much recommend

Beautiful Autumn Colours
Visited on 31st October. The gold, brown, red and orange Autumn colours were just beautiful! Tranquil, relaxed and very well-maintained Japanese-style gardens to walk around. Lots of Koi carp and lovely waterfall feature. There is a café with terrace, picnic area, and when we were there a food truck selling Japanese tea and snacks. 6€ entry fee for an adult. Entry was a bit confusing. The ticket desk was open but when you went up to it you were redirected to a ticket machine that didn't seem to work very well. Then when the queue built up there you were called back to the ticket desk to buy tickets! Beautiful place for an afternoon stroll and would love to go back and see it in different seasons.
