Setagaya Park Vienna Austria Poster

Setagayapark was designed 1992 by landscape gardener Ken Nakajima from Japan. Twincity and cultural agreements have existed for many years between Vienna’s Döbling district and Setagaya, a suburb of Tokyo. The park was laid out near a retirement home. Setagayapark emulates a Japanese landscape with several ponds and streams, and it contains the densely-planted garden elements that are typical of Japanese gardens. There is a Japanese tea house, a “Yukimi style” stone lantern, several stone sculptures and a fountain, as well as a poem set in stone at the entrance to the garden.
