Kana Garden, Botanical garden in Teradanawa, Hiratsuka, Japan

Kana Garden is a botanical garden in Hiratsuka featuring water lily ponds, rose collections, and diverse plant exhibits spread across expansive grounds. The site combines multiple themed sections that showcase both regional and international plant varieties.

The garden opened in 2010 on the grounds of a former agricultural research institute through a public-private partnership. This development transformed the site from an institutional facility into a public cultural space.

The garden draws inspiration from a Czech writer's garden design philosophy and displays plant collections that reflect Central European horticultural traditions. Visitors can experience these influences woven throughout different sections of the grounds.

The garden is most easily reached from railway stations in the Hiratsuka area, connected by bus services or nearby major stations. Plan enough time to explore the large grounds comfortably and bring appropriate clothing for the season.

The name was chosen through a public competition and combines Japanese words for flower and vegetable, reflecting the site's dual heritage. This naming approach honors both ornamental gardening and agricultural traditions at the location.
