平岡樹芸センター, Botanical garden in Kiyota, Sapporo, Japan.
The Hiraoka Tree Cultivation Center is a botanical garden in Kiyota, Sapporo, spread across a large property with different garden sections displaying trees, flowers, and seasonal plants. The site is divided into multiple zones that represent different habitats and growing conditions.
The center was founded in 1984 and focuses on tree cultivation and botanical research in Hokkaido. It developed into an important site for preserving plant species native to northern regions.
The garden displays plants from the local Hokkaido region, grown in organized sections that reflect how they thrive in northern climates. You will see how these species are cultivated to show their natural character.
The garden is open from late April through early November with free entry and parking available on-site. Wear appropriate clothing for changing weather, as you will spend much of your time outdoors walking through the sections.
The center houses rare tree species that naturally grow in Hokkaido and are difficult to find elsewhere. This collection makes it an important place for studying and protecting these native species.
