Akatsuka Botanical Garden

The garden extends over multiple areas featuring 600 plant varieties, including a Main Garden, Agricultural Garden, and specialized medicinal plant sections.

Established in October 1981, the garden preserves natural terrain and traditional Japanese landscaping elements while serving as a green space in Itabashi.

The Manyo Yakuyo Garden section contains plants mentioned in the Man'yoshu, Japan's eighth-century poetry anthology, with information boards displaying ancient verses.

Located at 5-17-14 Akatsuka, the garden welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, except Mondays and specific Tuesdays each month.

The garden incorporates three distinct environments: a tree sample collection, medicinal herb displays, and seasonal crop demonstration areas.
