The Japanese garden can be enjoyed from several viewing areas around the perimeter.  Including a guided tour with a knowledgable guideof the garden for an even more immersive experience.

The Japanese Garden was almost certainly the result of Alan de Tatton’s visit to the Anglo-Japanese Exhibition at the White City in London in 1910.

Inspired by what he saw there, Alan de Tatton decided to introduce a Japanese garden to Tatton.  A team of Japanese workmen arrived to put together what is now rated to be the “finest example of a Japanese Garden in Europe.”

The Shinto Shrine and artefacts contained within the garden are all reputed to have been brought from Japan especially for the construction of the garden.

The garden itself is in the style of the tea garden which does not reflect the strict discipline of other Japanese styles, e.g. the dry garden or the stroll garden.  In this form of art, the Japanese portray many scenes, both mythical and factual, but all must harmonise with nature. The important elements of plants, stones and rocks are carefully placed to produce a natural balance.

Please note that due to the tight area, narrow bridges, and intricate paths, the Japanese Garden Tour is not accessible for people with limited mobility or wheelchair users. Additionally, dogs are not permitted on the tour.
