Japanese Garden (Helwan)

The Japanese garden in Helwan is a public garden created by the architect Zulfiqar Pasha 1919 in the Asian style to symbolize the civilizations of the East. Located in the Helwan district of Cairo, it was originally called the "Asian Life Kiosk" and later renamed the "Japanese Garden." It covers an area of 40,468 square meters (approximately 10 acres) and its design was completed in 1922. In 1990, the Cairo Governorate incorporated the garden into its Specialized Gardens Project. Then, in January 2005, it began implementing its major project to develop the garden and rescue it from the neglect it had suffered over the years, restoring it to its former glory in June 2006 at a cost of 5.5 million Egyptian pounds.
