Macedonia Welcomes Its First Stay-In Japanese Garden

Macedonia Welcomes Its First Stay-In Japanese Garden

The team at Kajak.mk is constantly on the lookout for new, unique places in Macedonia. If there is a platform that leads the way with all the new experiences in Macedonia, it’s us. We love the local communities, their stories, and we aim to support and promote them. Most of all, we want to encourage the development of the local economy through these unique opportunities available on Kajak.mk.

Today, we take you to the village of Dovezence, where a newly arranged space of over 5000 square meters is located in a beautiful setting. Unlike our previous destinations, this one stands out with its distinctive design.

You can reserve your accommodation with just one click HERE.


This is the first and currently the only Japanese Zen garden, named "Ninja Village" due to its unique Japanese design, which spans the entire space—from the garden itself to the accommodation cabins that you can reserve with a single click HERE.

The host, Igor, who opened the doors to the world of Kajak.mk, shares that the garden began to develop four years ago, and its brilliance continues to grow thanks to the variety of trees planted and all the elements, from pebbles to sculptures, that shape the spirit of Japanese culture.


Igor says that the goal of this project is to promote Japanese culture and tradition in Macedonia, offering a space for relaxation, meditation, and the study of martial arts. Guests here can enjoy peace and tranquility, practice Japanese yoga, or learn about Japanese culture and tradition through presentations. The garden is nestled at the foot of Mount Lipac, created through the personal effort of teacher Igor Dovezenski and his students.

The space features four fully equipped cabins, ideal for couples. This unique accommodation is recommended for adults over 18, as every plant and stone in the Japanese garden is placed in a specific position, in accordance with Japanese views of the Universe. The curiosity of children may disturb this arrangement by moving objects. Within the courtyard, there is a pond with koi fish, various trees, a space for meditation and relaxation, and shady spots for summer enjoyment.
