Temple Gardens
The Center for Japanese Culture, the EKŌ-House, has been in existence since 1993. The center consists of the only Japanese (Buddhist) temple in Europe, a Japanese garden, exhibition and lecture rooms and, since 1999, an additional building that houses a library and an international kindergarten. Cultural exchange is very important here.
"There is a Japanese community in Düsseldorf, Germany. In 2008 the Consulate-General of Japan in Düsseldorf (German: Japanisches Generalkonsulat Düsseldorf, Japanese: 在デュッセルドルフ日本国総領事館) stated that about 11,000 Japanese, including both permanent and temporary residents and German-born citizens of Japanese ancestry live in Düsseldorf. Since the 1950s Düsseldorf has hosted over 500 Japanese companies.
In 1985 the general manager of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Düsseldorf, Akira Arikawa, stated that of all of the cities in the world outside Japan, Düsseldorf had the highest concentration of Japanese residents."
