Barakura English Garden

Barakura English Garden is a garden facility in Chino that showcases English garden design with extensive plant collections. The grounds feature multiple sections with flower beds, walking paths, and numerous seasonal plant displays spread throughout the property.

The garden was founded in 1990 and brought authentic British design principles to Japan. It marked a turning point in Japanese garden culture by establishing Western landscape concepts in a new context.

The garden blends English landscape design with Japanese gardening practices, showing how two different garden cultures can work side by side. Visitors see how Western and Eastern approaches to growing and shaping green spaces interact here.

The garden is accessible year-round with varying hours depending on the season, with longer visiting times during warmer months. On-site parking is available for visitors, and the grounds offer plenty of space to explore on foot.

The grounds hold one of Japan's largest collections of English-style garden plants. The inventory includes diverse plant varieties, featuring specialized cultivars that are rarely seen elsewhere.
