Nunobiki Herb Garden, Herb garden in Fukiai-chō, Japan
The Nunobiki Herb Garden contains over 140 varieties of herbs, seasonal flowers, and thematic zones spread across terraced slopes overlooking Kobe harbor.
The garden started operations in October 1991 as part of an initiative to integrate European herb cultivation traditions into Japanese horticultural practices.
The garden features the Mint Cafe where visitors can taste herbal teas, while the Glass House displays a statue gifted from the city of Terni.
Visitors reach the garden via a 10-minute ropeway ride from Shin-Kobe Station, with guided paths leading through different sections of the botanical collection.
The garden hosts annual festivals celebrating specific herbs, including the Chamomile Festival in spring and the Lavender Festival during early summer months.
