About Jindai Botanical Gardens
Jindai Botanical Gardens was originally a nursery growing trees for Tokyo's roads, but after the war it was opened to the public as Jindai Green Space.
In 1961, the name was changed to Jindai Botanical Gardens, and it opened as the only botanical garden in Tokyo at the time.
The gardens are currently home to around 4,800 varieties of plants which are divided into 30 blocks according to type so that visitors can learn about plants while enjoying the scenery.
The garden preserves varieties of traditional Japanese horticultural plants and holds events and exhibitions year round.
