Jindai Botanical Garden

Jindai Botanical Garden spans 425,433 square meters with thirty distinct areas dedicated to various plant species, including roses, cherry trees, and plum gardens.

The garden opened in 1961 as Tokyo's first botanical garden, transforming a site that previously served as a medieval fortress in 1537.

The garden maintains 120,000 trees representing 4,500 species, contributing to Japanese botanical research and endangered species preservation through systematic documentation.

The facility operates from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM with a 500 yen entrance fee, offering accessibility features, dining options, and regular bus connections.

The greenhouse complex contains six climate zones, featuring tropical fruit trees, carnivorous plants, orchids, and an aquatic plant section with water lilies.
