Sukagawa Peony Garden, Botanical garden and Place of Scenic Beauty in Sukagawa, Japan

The Sukagawa Peony Garden extends across 10 hectares of land, featuring 7,000 peony flowers representing 290 different varieties throughout the grounds.

Founded in 1766 by herbalist Ito Yutono, the garden initially cultivated peony roots from Settsu Province for traditional Chinese medicine purposes.

The garden received the designation as a National Place of Scenic Beauty in 1932, recognizing its importance in Japanese horticultural traditions.

Visitors can access the garden via a 15-minute taxi ride from JR Sukagawa Station or a 15-minute drive from Sukagawa IC on the Tohoku Expressway.

The garden maintains several 200-year-old peony specimens and cultivates the Showa-no-yume variety, which grows exclusively in Sukagawa City.
