Nestled in the serene Emirgan neighborhood of Istanbul, the Baltalimanı Japanese Garden is a tranquil oasis that beckons visitors with its lush greenery and traditional Japanese aesthetics. This charming garden, located at Sakıp Sabancı Cd. No:76, is perfect for those seeking a moment of peace amidst the bustling city. With its picturesque ponds, delicate rock displays, and seasonal cherry blossoms, the garden offers a unique glimpse into Japanese culture right in the heart of Turkey.

Visitors often find themselves captivated by the seasonal blooms, particularly the cherry blossoms in spring, which create a breathtaking backdrop for photos.

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.

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 small Japanese garden suitable for a walk, meditation and probably Sakura admiring, I was not at the season. In February camellias were in bloom. Apparently they also have a small café in summer.

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.

It’s a small cute garden. If you are near by add it your list. But I don’t think you’d be satisfied if you come all the way just for this garden because it’s very small :) We were visiting Rumeli Hisari and decided to check the garden out.

It was very clean
It has a security member
It was for free
We enjoyed taking a break here.
Nice place to take pictures.
