Denpark, Botanical garden in Anjo City, Japan.
Denpark is a botanical garden and park in Anjo City covering 3 hectares with numerous flower beds, walking paths, and a 19-meter-high windmill. The windmill creates a Northern European atmosphere and stands as a central landmark throughout the grounds.
It opened in 1997 as part of Anjo City's initiative to create a cultural and natural space for the community. The opening marked a turning point in establishing the city as a destination that combined nature and cultural learning.
The name reflects a Danish connection, evident in the Northern European architectural style throughout the grounds. Visitors experience traditional craft workshops, including sausage-making and flower arrangement, which are regularly offered to teach these techniques hands-on.
The grounds open from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM and offer wheelchair rentals and accessible facilities for visitors of all abilities. Reduced admission fees for seniors and children make visits affordable for different age groups.
An electric train called Meruhen-go runs through the gardens, offering an eco-friendly way to view the seasonal flower displays. The train lets visitors experience the grounds without walking extensively, making it accessible for those who tire easily.
