About
Established in 1976, this unique botanical garden showcases over 1,700 species of wetland, aquatic, and alpine plants native to Japan. Wooden boardwalks guide you through beautifully preserved marshlands, offering a tranquil, flat walk with seasonal highlights like spring lysichitons and autumn foliage. It is a peaceful, nature-focused alternative to Hakone's busier hot-spring attractions.
