A botanical garden where you can enjoy the great outdoors while in the city center.
This place, which is aimed at botanical research and education, is an affiliated facility of the University of Tokyo, officially called "Botanical Gardens, Graduate School of Science, the University of Tokyo".
It was originally the "Koishikawa Medicinal Garden" opened by the Edo Shogunate over 300 years ago with the aim of growing medicinal plants. After the establishment of the University of Tokyo in Meiji 10 (1877), it became the university's affiliated botanical garden and was opened to the public. It is also known as the research base of Mr. Tomitaro Makino, who became the model for the 2023 NHK serial TV drama "Ranman".
Within the vast garden of approximately 160,000 square meters, 3,000 types of plants such as camellias, azaleas, cherry blossoms, ginkgo, and maple show their colors in each season, and 1,100 types of tropical and subtropical plants are cultivated in the greenhouse. It's full of highlights like "Newton's Apple" and "Mendel's Grape", so it's a spot you'll want to take a full day to slowly tour.
It was designated as a national scenic spot and historic site in 2012.
