Yamaguchi Gardens

Pamplona is splashed with beautiful patches of green, but there is none quite like Yamaguchi Park: it covers 85,000 square metres in one of the most modern areas of the city.

The park was designed in 1997 in an oriental style by Japanese landscape gardeners, which is why it contains all the features typical of a garden imported from the land of the Rising Sun, with all its refinement, delicacy and attention to detail. The park is a symbol of the twinning of the cities of Pamplona and Yamaguchi, which is very close to Hiroshima. The cities were twinned in 1980 in memory of the evangelising visit to Japan in the 16th century by St. Francis Xavier, patron saint of Navarre.

Plants and different species of trees, some indigenous, coexist with ornamental features like the suhama (beach), azumaya (little hut on the lake), yatsubashi and ishibasi (bridges), taki (waterfall) or the géiser on the lake, a jet of water that reaches 20 metres in height. For a delight to the senses, stroll through this Japanese homage to the four seasons.
