Edit: I can’t find much information about it, but from reading Google Reviews I understand this:
– The tower, the park and pavilion (opposite size of street, see Street View) have been closed, at least for 4 years already.
– The pavilion is currently being renovated, and have been in renovation for at least 3 years.
– The tower’s windows have been boarded up.
– Some Chinese museum pieces have been brought over to the Art and History Museum.

Speaking as one of the volunteers of the Japanese garden of Hasselt, I’d invite all of you redditors to come to our gardens instead. Currently there is an event going on, Kikumatsuri, the chrysanthemum festival (NL: chrysantenfestival, FR: festival du chrysanthème). We are working together with artist Regine Motmans to show, as I’ve been told, 900 flower pots of chrysanthemums all over the garden.
The event ends next weekend, the 24th of October, and the garden is open every day except Monday, from 10h to 17h.
You don’t need special tickets for the event. Regular ticket at the income is 6 euro, cheaper if you’re a student, 65+, etc.
The Japanese garden closes for the rest of the year starting in November, opening again next year in spring, when the cherry blossoms blossom.

I remember seeing it as a kid. It was very nice (full of chinese ware tho for some reason).
IIRC it was a gift from the japanese governement or the japanese emperor to the King of the Belgians, that’s why it’s in the royal garden.
It was closed even during my childhood but they promised renovations
