What is it?

Setagaya park located in Vienna’s 19th district is a place where you can discover a beautiful, small but quiet Japanese garden. More than 4.000m2 park was laid out by the Japanese garden designer Ken Nakajima in the early 1990s.

Setagaya park emulates a Japanese landscape with several ponds and streams. It contains the densely planted garden elements that are typical for 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.

The park is open from April 1 to October 31. During winter from November 1 to March 31, it is closed. Also, barrier-free access is available.

Please note that dogs are not permitted in the park. Therefore, owners may walk their dogs in the dog zones of Vienna.

How to get there: Take tram number 37 direction Hohe Warte (at U2 Schottentor, or U6 Nussdorferstrasse), stop at Barawitzkagasse.
