Kanagawa Prefectural Ofuna Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Kamakura, Japan
The Kanagawa Prefectural Ofuna Botanical Garden is a large facility with over 5700 plant species organized in different themed areas. It includes flower displays, rose and camellia sections, and greenhouses for year-round visits.
The garden was founded in 1967 as a center for ornamental plant cultivation in Kanagawa Prefecture. Since its establishment, it has grown into one of the region's leading botanical institutions.
The garden displays peonies that hold special meaning in Japanese tradition, representing beauty and prosperity. Visitors experience how these flowers are integrated into the horticultural practices that have shaped the region for generations.
The garden is about 20 minutes on foot from Ofuna Station and easy to reach. Paths are wheelchair accessible, there are seating areas for rest, and admission is affordable for adults.
The garden houses about 250 camellia varieties that bloom from March through April, making it a rare winter garden experience. This collection includes many native Japanese species difficult to find elsewhere in that season.
