Tsukuba Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Amakubo, Japan
Tsukuba Botanical Garden is a 14-hectare facility with sections for evergreen forests, temperate zones, and specialized greenhouses housing around 5000 plant species. The site combines open garden areas with climate-controlled structures to display different ecosystems in one location.
The garden began operations in May 1976 as part of the National Museum of Nature and Science, with the public opening occurring in October 1983. The facility was created to combine plant research with public education in a single location.
The garden displays plants from central Japan alongside East Asian ferns and orchids from South America, showing how different world regions are represented in a single place. Visitors can observe how the collection reflects the biological diversity of these distant areas.
The garden offers visitors access to marked pathways through various plantings and greenhouses that can be explored independently. Plan to spend several hours to properly walk through the different zones and observe the plant collections.
The garden contains three specialized greenhouses with distinct climate zones: one for tropical resource plants, one simulating rainforests, and one for semi-arid savanna species. These separate environments allow plants from completely different regions to be displayed together in one location.
