About the place

The Japanese Garden opened in 2001 in Tashkent's Yunusabad district, beside the Uzexpocentre exhibition grounds. It follows the Japanese landscape style, with water, stone, small bridges and carefully shaped trees laid out around a walking route, and it is one of the calmer green spaces in the city.

The garden is popular with families and with wedding photographers, so weekends can be busy, while weekday mornings are quiet. Plan about forty minutes, and combine it with the nearby Tashkent TV Tower or Minor mosque if you are in the area.
