Prayagraj is set to get a unique Rs 124 crore Indo-Japanese Cultural Park, a symbolic fusion of Indian Sanatan and Japanese Shinto traditions.

Scheduled to be developed along the banks of Yamuna in Arail, this project is designed to foster global harmony by highlighting shared spiritual values of peace, nature reverence, and self-discipline.Rohit Kumar Rana, the project manager at Construction and Design Services (CNDS), the agency overseeing the project for the Prayagraj Municipal Corporation, shared that the park will cover three hectares of land near the existing Shivalaya Park in Arail. It will feature thematic zones blending both cultures, including a Torii Gate, Japanese Garden, Zen Garden, and spaces inspired by Indian temple architecture, yoga, and traditional arts like Ikebana and the Tea Ceremony.

The development follows the success of the Mahakumbh-2025, marking a new cultural milestone for the city.
