Jardín de peonías de Tsukuba

The Tsukuba Botanical Garden extends across 14 hectares near the University of Tsukuba, containing 5000 plant species from temperate and tropical regions.

The garden opened in 1983 as a research branch of the National Museum of Nature and Science, establishing itself as a leading botanical research institute.

Eight researchers at the garden conduct studies in plant taxonomy, focusing on molecular biology, chemotaxonomy, and plant morphology techniques.

The garden remains open six days per week, closing on Mondays, and maintains three specialized greenhouses for tropical and subtropical plant collections.

The facility features distinct environmental zones including temperate forests, montane grasslands, rookeries, marsh areas, and specialized sections for aquatic plants.
