Nani Mau Gardens, Botanical garden in Hilo, Hawaii.
The 20-acre garden contains over 2,000 plant varieties, including 225 types of flowering plants and 100 species of fruit trees across multiple sections.
Makato Nitahara established Nani Mau Gardens in 1972, transforming former papaya growing fields into an extensive collection of tropical plants and flowers.
The botanical museum exhibits tropical plants native to Hawaii and displays their applications in Hawaiian culture through educational presentations and displays.
Located at 421 Makalika Street, the garden welcomes visitors daily from 10 AM to 3 PM with admission fees of $10 for adults and $5 for children.
The Japanese bell tower stands as an architectural achievement, constructed using 20,000 wooden boards assembled without nails or screws.
