About Tsukuba Botanical Garden
Our garden is a lush, nature-filled space located at the southern foot of Mount Tsukuba. It was established by the National Museum of Nature and Science to promote botanical research. On its approximately 14-hectare grounds, the garden cultivates over
7,000 plant species, including representative plants native to Japan, tropical and arid-region plants from around the world, plants that support human life, and species found on Mount Tsukuba. Visitors can observe around 3,000 of these species in the
garden.
