逢瀬公園・緑化センター, Botanical garden and nature park in Koriyama, Japan
Oose Park and Greening Center is a nature facility in Fukushima Prefecture that covers a large area across different elevations. The grounds include cultivated gardens, natural areas, and dedicated spaces designed for environmental learning and recreation.
The park opened in 1979, with the Fukushima Prefecture Greening Center established in 1981. These two developments came together to create a space serving both recreational and educational purposes.
The site functions as a place where visitors learn about local plants and how they are grown and used in the region. Educational programs here focus on what grows naturally in Fukushima and seasonal changes in nature.
The location is best reached by bus or car, as it sits outside the town center. Wear comfortable shoes since the terrain is hilly and exploring different areas requires walking across varied ground.
The cactus greenhouse is one of the many small themed spots in the Fukushima Prefecture Greening Center, alongside a Japanese garden with a water koto cave, a rhododendron garden, a rock garden and a medicinal herb garden. Two walking loops of 3 km and 5 km link these areas across ground rising from 280 to 350 m.
