What a cute area! We did not arrive in Omiya until 4PM on a Friday evening after a last minute change in plans, sadly the bonsai and manga museum were already closed, but after seeing this area on Design Talk+ during an NHK World broadcast, I knew we'd have to at least walk around and check it out. The small visitor center was still open and provided free walking maps of the area, which was appreciated! The entire area was a quiet residential district and a pleasure to walk. Littered with small outdoor bonsai areas in from of random houses and small parks to enjoy outdoor time in, if that's your cup of tea I highly recommend talking a stroll in the neighborhood if you find yourself in the area. It was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Most beautiful place! Well worth a visit from Tokyo. Museum is amazing, great restaurant opposite the entrance. Worth going to all of the independent nurseries dotted about the lovely village, they are all unique. Spent an entire day lost amongst the little trees.

place for serenity and love. certainly a relaxing place to visit. an extraordinary experience to see those tiny trees in pots. imagine all the loving hands that took care of them from generations to generations. it is that deep sense of culture and love. one does not apply to work as a bonsai care taker. it's pure love that connects the master to the tree that brings out the best of that relationship. awesome is an understatement.

Amazing and the staff is so kind I recommend it if you come to the Bonsai Museum

(Translated by Google) You can walk around the gardens of many bonsai gardens, but most are closed on Thursdays. (Original) 多くの盆栽園の庭を歩いて回れますが、木曜日はほとんどが定休日です。

(Translated by Google) The Bonsai Festival, which is held every year, is lively! There are many stores, but the products are not very good! If you look at the same level as the products in the Orchid Exhibition held in Korakuen, there is no doubt! Postscript, I am careful because there are very few eating places! (Original) 毎年開催される盆栽祭りは活気がある！出店が沢山でているが、商品はあまり良くない！後楽園で開催される蘭展に出店されている商品と同レベルと見れば間違いない！追伸、食事処が極端に少ないので注意！

Very interesting, I visited the nearby Bonsai museum first and then looked around some of the Bonsai growing nurseries in this area. There are many beautiful trees carefully and meticulously crafted and cared for, it is really fascinating. Please respect signs asking you not to touch or take photographs.

Looks like the visit need to be on a specific date and time, otherwise only a beautiful street can be seen.

There are many bonsai shops. You can see it while walking around. It's a quiet town.

(Translated by Google) This area is known for its many bonsai. It is pleasant to walk there. I recommend taking a trip to the Omiya Bonsai Art Museum to learn about the different gardens accessible in this village. (Original) Ce quartier est connu pour ses nombreux bonsaï. Il est plaisant de s'y promener. Je recommande de faire un tour au Omiya Bonsai Art Museum pour connaître les différentes jardins accessible dans ce village.

The bonsai area in Omiya far exceeded my expectations. It is a place not only unique to Saitama, but to the world. The area has cultivated bonsai for almost a hundred years, but many of the bonsai are much older than that. Apart from gardens and nursuries the area has some pretty streets and buildings.

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere and facilities of the cityscape are of course distinctive as well as bonsai. (Original) 盆栽はもちろん街並みの雰囲気や施設も特徴的。

(Translated by Google) I went there for the first time, but I like bonsai! (Original) 初めて行ったのですが、盆栽を好きになりました！

(Translated by Google) It is a bonsai area near Toro Station. In this area, one family is growing a bonsai tree, there is also a bonsai museum, and you can see expensive bonsai trees that cost several hundred million yen. When I went, I used to display Bonsai works and sell a lot of bonsai on the roads around the museum. If you like bonsai, please go to Bonsai Village once. (Original) 土呂駅の近くにある盆栽の地域です。この地域は一家に一鉢の盆栽を育てていて、盆栽博物館もあり、数億円するような高価な盆栽も見ることができます。私が行った時は、博物館周りの道には盆栽作品の展示や多くの盆栽の販売もしておりました。盆栽好きの方は一度、盆栽村に行ってみて下さい。

(Translated by Google) Bonsai is beautiful. (Original) 盆栽がきれい。

(Translated by Google) I have an appearance every year. Many potted pottery pots were exhibited this year. Not only plants but also pots and maintenance tools can be purchased, and I think it's interesting to talk with people at the stalls. There were a lot of foreigners this year, and I felt that it reflects the popularity of bonsai abroad. (Original) 毎年顔を出しています。 今年は欅の鉢物が多く出ていました。 植物だけではなく鉢や手入れ道具等も購入できるし、露店の人との話しも面白いと思います。 今年は外国人が多く、海外の盆栽人気を反映している感じがしました。

(Translated by Google) It was a good season to wander around. The number of foreigners has also increased. (Original) ぶらぶら散策するにはよい季節になりました。外国人の方も増えましたね～。

Really interesting visit. This is a quiet area that isn't frequented by too many tourists. If bonsai is your thing, this is heaven for you. There's a lot of different places you can go into completely free to see the bonsai trees, there's also a museum nearby too. Only thing to mention is that some places are very picky about photos. I'm not sure why but don't get yourself in trouble!

I enjoy the bonsai market very much. Better visit during bonsai festival in early May.

Very quiet and beautiful neighbourhood full of bonsai gardens and a museum

For anyone who has a vague interest in gardening or cultural practices in Japan. Great collection and information about the origins of bonsai and how to appreciate bonsai.

I visited this place as being a garden for Bonsai, it turned out to be a narrow street where some people sell the goods (accessories, sweets...) for bonsai garden, there a museum about 7min walk

A great day or half-day trip to wander around many different bonsai nurseries.

This is a village and not a shop. Be mindful to take it as a tourist destination as it is not. Collection which you can buy and enjoy about bonsai.

I was expecting much more to be a village dedicated to the bonsai but the museum is worthy w visit

(Translated by Google) I went on a regular Thursday ... (Original) 定休の木曜日に行ってしまいました…。

(Translated by Google) Bonsai in a bonsai village in a quiet luxury residential area was wonderful. (Original) 閑静な高級住宅街にある盆栽村の盆栽は見事でした。

If you enjoy Bonsai, worth a visit. 4 stars for not allowing as much photography as would be logical.

i saw the dragon bonsai that was done by the great master. most bonsai have 100 yrs more in existence

Incredible village, the only downside is that you are not allowed to take pictures!

No good in winter, go to Bonsai museum that is very good with excellent bonsai's some of which you can photograph.

Must visit if you are into bonsai, lots of decent nurseries and an amazing museum

Don’t miss!

I don't know how to tell Google this, but adding a Direction and Distance label (from Toro Station) would help visitors find these places.

Beautiful and informative!

(Translated by Google) A zone dotted with places where you can buy bonsai and learn. If you have a small bonsai tree, you can buy it for 2000 yen, so I'm a little worried. There are many gardens, and many homes focus on planting trees and bonsai. (Original) 盆栽を買える、習える場所が点在している地帯。小さな盆栽であれば２０００円もあれば買えるのでちょっと気になる。 庭も汎く、植木や盆栽に力を入れている家が多い。

An excellent place to spend a few hours looking at tiny trees. We bought a bonsai at one nursery, and later returned to take it to another and have it placed in a volcanic rock. True story.

(Translated by Google) It's Ok if you are a real Bonsai enthusiast. They allow you to take pics only at specific spots. walk in the neighborhood; One of the posh locations right outside Tokyo. If you are a real bonsai lover, it's okay. You can only take pictures in specific places. There are many nurseries around the Bonsai Museum. It is much better to visit all nurseries, they have a huge variety of trees. Also walk around the neighborhood; one of the luxury residential areas on the outskirts of Tokyo.

Lovely museum, friendly staff and good English explanations and archive. Well worth a visit

(Translated by Google) You can relax and enjoy the bonsai. (Original) ゆったり盆栽を眺められます。

So amazing to see bonsai trees as old as 700 years.

It looks like a foreign guide. (Original) 盆栽美術館のスタッフの助川さんが素晴らしい案内で説明してくれました。感謝します。一度訪ねて見てください、名調子で案内してくれます。外人のガイドのようです❗️

(Translated by Google) Bonsai is really difficult to maintain. (Original) 盆栽って本当に手入れとか難しいですよね?

(Translated by Google) It is recommended to visit if you like bonsai. Bonsai in harmony between “natural beauty” and “artificial beauty” may seem like a hobby for elderly people in Japan, but it is popular as a plant art abroad, and many young foreigners like bonsai. It is rare. Many famous overseas actors are attracted to the charm of bonsai. There are also artistic works with beautiful beauty like a miniature garden. It's like a splendor that represents a garden. Many wonderful bonsai pieces are handled, but you can appreciate the bonsai with your eyes in the middle of the height of the bonsai. I'm looking for a bonsai that feels the nature and landscape behind the bonsai. Since the bonsai container is shallow, we water every morning and evening in summer. Watering once a day in winter. Since the bonsai vessel is shallow, after about three years after planting it, cut the roots and care for them to grow well. (Original) 盆栽が好きな方には訪れることをお勧めします。 「自然美」と「人工美」の調和の盆栽は、日本では年配者の趣味のように思われることもありますが、海外では植物のアートとして人気があり、若い外国人の方々が多数盆栽を嗜まれています。 海外の有名な俳優さんも多数、盆栽の魅力に惹かれています。 こちらには、箱庭のような纏まった美しさのある芸術的な作品もあります。 それはまるで、一つの庭を表している素晴らしさです。 素敵な盆栽の作品をたくさん扱われていますが、盆栽の高さの中間に目線を合わせて盆栽を鑑賞します。 盆栽の背景の自然と風景を感じられるような盆栽を探しています。 盆栽の器は浅いので、夏は毎日朝夕に水やりをします。 冬は毎日一度水やりをします。 盆栽の器が浅い為に、器に植え付けてから三年ほど経ったら根をカットして元気に育つように手入れをします。

Cute area! Nice to get out a little and explore the main city. They allow to take photos in certain areas of the garden

(Translated by Google) Historical and cultural property of Omiya. (Original) 大宮の歴史文化財産。

(Translated by Google) After a while from Toro station, the cityscape will change. In addition to bonsai shops, there are also large houses with beautifully arranged gardens in the gardens. It feels like a quiet mansion town, and the air is different. A world completely different from Tokyo, which is packed with houses. People are only a part of nature, and it is ideal to live with nature. This is the best environment. It is said that the bonsai shop in Sendagi's Dangozaka was reclaimed in 1925 after the Great Kanto Earthquake (1923), and this area became a bonsai village. It's been almost 100 years since then. (Original) 土呂駅から暫く来ると、街並みが変わります。盆栽店もさることながら、家々の庭先の植栽が綺麗に整えられた大きな家が並んでる。静かなお屋敷町と言った感じで空気迄違うと感じる。家がびっしり詰まった東京とは全然違う世界。人は自然の一部に過ぎず、自然と共に生きるのが理想。ここは最高の環境ですね。 関東大震災（1923年）を期に、1925年に千駄木の団子坂にあった盆栽店が開墾してこの地が盆栽村になったとの事です。それからもう100年になろうとしてます。

(Translated by Google) The air is good and walking is soothing (Original) 空気が良くて歩いてると心癒される

(Translated by Google) The landscape has changed considerably compared to the past, but there are still spots with a calm atmosphere ❗ (Original) 昔に比べだいぶ風景が変わりましたがまだまだ落ち着いた雰囲気のスポットが点在しています❗
