The ceremony house in the Japanese Garden was christened Korokan (鴻鵬館) upon opening, meaning a place of rest and shelter for travelers. All the materials used in the ceremonial house are of natural origin: natural stone, wood, bamboo, clay and paper. Clay tiles and pure (red) copper roof slates were used for the roofing.
The entrance hall is the only room with traditionally a paved floor and may be entered with shoes. The tea ceremony room is Western style where you can sit on benches instead of the traditional Japanese style where you sit on your knees on the tatami.

Hasselt has been home to a beautiful piece of Japan for twenty years: an idealized piece of nature, a miniaturization of reality. Reconstructed as the Japanese have been doing for centuries. The tea garden in Hasselt is the largest Japanese garden in Europe. Here you will find beautiful cherry blossoms, red maples, bamboo and lush wisteria. The garden is an authentic symbol of inner peace and natural beauty.
