Kyoto Botanical Garden in Kitayama

Kyoto Botanical Garden, which opened in 1924, is Japan's oldest public comprehensive botanical garden. Approximately 12,000 species of plants are cultivated within the 24-hectare grounds. You can enjoy seasonal flowers throughout the year, from spring cherry blossoms to early summer rose gardens and autumn foliage. The largest greenhouse complex in Japan also allows you to appreciate tropical plants. The garden, facing Kitayama-dori, offers leisurely strolls and serves as a relaxing spot for locals. The reasonable admission fee of 200 yen is also an attractive feature.
