Himeji City Tegarayama Botanical Garden

Himeji City Tegarayama Botanical Garden is located within Tegarayama Central Park and features thousands of plant species across multiple sections. The greenhouse protects tropical and subtropical plants while open areas showcase native and temperate vegetation.

The garden opened in 1980 as a center for plant conservation and research. Since then it has grown to become an important institution for protecting both local and exotic plant species in the region.

The garden reflects Japanese horticultural traditions through its layout and plant selections, showing how local gardeners work with nature. You can see how these practices balance human design with natural growth patterns.

The garden features wide, well-maintained walking paths that are accessible to visitors of different abilities. Informational signs explain the plant collections, and seating areas throughout allow for rest stops at various points.

The greenhouse uses advanced climate control to cultivate tropical plants year-round, even during Japan's cold winters. This technology allows visitors to see exotic plants that normally grow only in warmer climates.
