Discover Japanese Architecture: Guided Tour of the Tea House in the Karlsruhe Japanese Garden
On October 25, 2026, the Zoological City Garden Karlsruhe invites you to a special cultural-historical guided tour. The focus is on the Japanese Tea House at the edge of the Japanese Garden, which combines traditional Japanese architecture with regional building culture.
An Experience of Discovery Between Tea House and Japanese Garden
The approximately two-hour tour provides insights into the world of Japanese architecture, garden art, and design. The tea house was built in 2017 on the initiative of the German-Japanese Society and fits into the atmospheric garden area of the Zoological City Garden.
Traditional Architecture with Karlsruhe Connection
The architect of the tea house and the garden area is Prof. Kazuhisa Kawamura from Cologne. His design combines essential elements of traditional Japanese tea houses with local building culture. This results in an extraordinary place where cultural heritage, architecture, and landscaped gardens are immediately experienced.
Local History and Japanese Garden Philosophy
During the city tour, visitors receive expert access to the architectural features of the tea house and the development of the Japanese Garden. The Karlsruhe Japanese Garden is one of the oldest facilities of its kind in Germany.
