About this Attraction
Nikko Botanical Garden (日光植物園), operated by the University of Tokyo, is a tranquil research space nestled in the scenic landscapes of Nikko. Established in 1902, the garden was created to study and preserve alpine and mountain plant species, making it a haven for nature lovers and botany enthusiasts. Spanning a wide area, the garden features over 1500 species and approximately 2200 individual plants, all thoughtfully labelled for educational and research purposes.
Visitors can enjoy quiet, refreshing walks along a network of well-maintained trails, shaded by unique trees and shrubs across Japan. Although the garden offers glimpses of the nearby Kanmangafuchi Abyss, the two have no direct trail connection. As a branch of the Koishikawa Botanical Garden in Tokyo, Nikko Botanical Garden plays a vital role in plant research and conservation. It’s a peaceful, educational escape just minutes away from central Nikko attractions.
