The Japanese drummers of Yamato are currently touring the Netherlands with their   new production: Chousensha – The Challengers. For the players of Yamato, every encounter with the listeners is a unique and precious experience. Their greatest goal is to send you home after each performance with a new vitality and passion for life. Experience this incredible drum spectacle of the year in the Zuiderstrandtheater.

“The Yamato show is a genuinely theatrical experience, delivered with balletic grace and infectious humour” – Times Online (UK)

Japanese garden in Clingendael Park (until 11 June)

This weekend is your last opportunity to see  magnificent Japanese Garden is   Clingendael Park, with beautiful and rare trees and plants. The garden is extremely fragile. That is why the Japanese Garden is open only 8 weeks in the year.

Given the garden’s fragility, it is not possible to visit it with strollers or baby carriages and electric mobility devices. The garden has only limited access to people in a wheelchair. A separate entrance is available for wheelchairs with a special shorter route through the garden. In addition it is also prohibited to enter the garden with dogs. If the garden has too many visitors, you may have to wait outside before you are allowed in. The fragility of the plants means there is a limit on the number of visitors allowed at a given time.
