Gōra Park, Botanical garden in Gora, Hakone, Japan

The garden spans multiple levels on a steep hillside, containing a French-style landscape with fountains, rose gardens, and two distinct greenhouse structures.

Established in 1914, this garden marked Japan's first French-style landscaping project, introducing Western garden design principles to the country's horticultural traditions.

The Hakuun-do Chaen teahouse within the garden received national tangible cultural property status in 2001, offering traditional tea ceremonies to visitors.

Located five minutes from Gora Station, the garden opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with entrance fees of 650 yen for adults.

The garden houses Japan's oldest bougainvillea plant in a dedicated building, alongside a collection of 140 rose varieties and tropical herbs.
