Japanese Garden in Clingendael Park

April 30th wasn't just the infamous Queen's Day. It was also the opening of the amazing Japanese Garden in Clingendael Park. Until June 13th, you can visit these gardens - open to the public - and enjoy a beautiful stroll anytime between 9am and 8pm. According to the Gemeente Den Haag,

The Japanese Garden was created in the beginning of the 20th century by the former owner of the country estate of Clingendael, Marguérite M. Baroness van Brienen (1871-1939), also called Lady Daisy. Lady Daisy sailed off a number of times by ship to Japan and brought back to the Netherlands a number of lanterns, a water cask, sculptures, the pavilion, the little bridges and several plants.

Did I mention admission is free? The gardens are located at Landgoed Clingendaelm, which can be found between The Hague and Wassenaar. The entrance is on the Wassenaarseweg in The Hague.
