Ueno Farm

Ueno Farm is a botanical garden in Asahikawa with over 2,000 plant varieties spread across designed areas. Perennial flowers and seasonal bloomers form the heart of its horticultural collection throughout the year.

The garden was founded in 1906 and grew from its agricultural beginnings into a plant conservation center. Education and research in horticulture became its main purpose over the years.

The garden applies Japanese landscaping principles adapted to Hokkaido's demanding northern climate. Walking through the spaces reveals how traditional design ideas work with cold-hardy plant selections.

The garden is open from April to October with seasonal flower displays throughout this period. The grounds are relatively flat with marked paths that make it easy to explore at your own pace.

From the hilltop viewpoint on Mount Shageki, visitors see the changing colors of farmland across the surrounding landscape. This vantage point connects the garden to the wider agricultural region around it.
