Makino Botanical Garden, Botanical garden and museum in Kochi, Japan.
The Makino Botanical Garden spans 8 hectares of land, featuring over 3,000 plant species from southwestern Japan and a greenhouse with tropical specimens.
The garden opened in April 1958 to commemorate the achievements of Dr. Tomitaro Makino, a prominent Japanese botanist who dedicated his life to plant taxonomy.
The garden houses exhibitions displaying Dr. Makino's research materials, botanical illustrations, and contemporary plant-themed art installations throughout the year.
The garden welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with adult admission at 730 yen and free entry for high school students and younger.
The garden maintains a specialized greenhouse that recreates jungle conditions, allowing visitors to observe rare tropical plants in their natural growth environment.
