Kadriorg Japanese Garden

Kadriorg’s Japanese Garden is one of Tallinn’s calmest, most beautiful outdoor corners — a quiet design-forward walk inside Kadriorg Park that feels especially good in spring, summer, and early autumn.

Why It’s Worth Your Time

Kadriorg is already Tallinn’s “slow down” neighborhood — and the Japanese Garden is one of its best micro-spots for calm.

It’s ideal when you want a scenic walk that’s beautiful without being a big ‘sightseeing project.’

How to Build It Into a Day

A perfect Kadriorg half-day:

  • Park walk → Japanese Garden pause → museum (optional)

For your museum pick nearby, choose:

  • Kumu for a big art anchor
  • Miiamilla if you’re traveling with kids

Best Time to Go

Go in gentle light:

  • Morning for calm
  • Late afternoon for warmth and softer colors

If you’re planning around seasons, see Tallinn in Spring and Tallinn in Summer.
