A journey to Japan in the heart of the Karkonosze Mountains
In the picturesque village of Przesieka, at the foot of the Karkonosze Mountains, there is Little Japan – the SIRUWIA Japanese Garden.
It is one of the most extraordinary tourist attractions in the region, allowing you to enter the world of Japanese harmony, nature, and culture without leaving Lower Silesia.
The garden was created out of a fascination with Japanese garden art and the philosophy of living in harmony with nature. Walking its winding paths, you can discover landscapes inspired by various types of Japanese gardens. The garden changes with the seasons, and every walk reveals new views and plant compositions.
Little Japan is a place to explore both during a peaceful stroll and a family trip.
Children can learn about the history of samurai, see traditional kimonos, and discover extraordinary plants inspired by Japanese gardens. For the youngest visitors, there is also a playground inspired by Japan where they can enjoy joyful playtime.
After the walk, it's worth stopping for a moment at the garden café to try Japanese matcha ice cream, and in the small shops, find original souvenirs inspired by Japanese culture.
