All plants are very well maintained by excellent professional vendors and will not be disappointed whenever you visit throughout the four seasons. The same is true for the western flowers in the greenhouse. 12000 species of plants are planted in a large area of 60 acres. You can enjoy hydrangea flower iris camellia, etc. It is directly connected to the subway Kitayama station, and the elevator is also available, so the transportation is ultimately convenient. Wheelchair users acceptable, toilet is prepared.

Incredible conservatory and outdoor gardens. Plan on spending at least 2-3 hours on the property to see most of the features. The conservatory has plants from desert, to tropical, and alpine regions. A special night blooming exists, which has beautiful flowers that are in special conditions to show their flowers in a darkened exhibit.

Great place to spend the day, it has a play area for kids with slides. The ticket is 200 yen to enter the garden, and 400 to enter the garden and the conservatory. But be careful, the conservatory closes at 4 pm, I did not notice this and missed it.

It's a suitable place to walk around and relax alone or with family and friends. There are many different events during different times of the year so have a look in advance to make your time here more fulfilling. I came here during the end of July and they only had a morning glory exhibition in the morning from 7am to 12pm, during the summer season. I believe it will be a lot nicer during spring and autumn with the Sakura and autumn leaves to enjoy.

The flower garden is amazing, though I went in the wrong season, I missed out on much of the amazing flowers that bloom in season, but overall, it is a nice place to take a walk and enjoy the greenery. There is a lot to see and a lot of walking you'll do, is if you don't plan well and you have other plans, you may lose track of time, it really is a big place to walk, because there are tons of paths. There are many cafes nearby and places to eat, so it is also a good place to just hang out if you don't like the noise of the city.

Great value. Seasonal attractions include a collection of flowering cherries, bulb plantings, lotus blooms in containers, cosmos, chrysanthemums, autumn leaves. The rose garden is magnificent. Even without the colourful attractions, it is relaxing to wander among the trees in the grounds. In the hothouses, (JPY 200 entry) at any time, you can be stimulated by vivid colour and unusual forms. The people visiting the park also provide other sights to see.

Average place. It's absolutely not bad, simply looks average with nothing spectacular inside. Nice to walk at any season of the year, because they always have some flowers blooming. The water mill is quite captivating if you start watching on it :) few locations are nice to take shots, however likely to be crowded in high seasons.

We love this gardens, equipped with lots of plants/flowers from every season. It provides a playground and library too for children. The place radiates serenity when we walk through the alley full of big trees. There are plenty of chairs too to rest when tired, and also the restroom. The price is only 200¥ per person and free for children. Highly recommended.

I was here on a rainy day in mid April. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to in my life. The experience was almost spiritual. Happily skip the hoards of tourists and come to this place of breathtaking beauty and quiet calm. Simply unforgettable.

A stunning sanctuary of life and beauty. The autumn colors were a definite highlight, as well as a variety of other displays. The bonsai exhibit was quite cool, too. If you're craving quiet escapes, running water, or some of nature's eye candy, don't miss out!

Me and my daughter were there today. The wind was very cold but the day passed very well within amazing flowers, bonsais and cherry blossoms. It is a great place to visit in Kyoto.

Even without the cherry blossoms or fields of flowers in bloom, this place offers the tranquility and natural beauty that I am looking for. The Pine Forest is my favorite with a variety of conifers. It smells absolutely divine. It is worth visiting in every season ♥️Just 200yen for general admission.

There is much variety in the conservatory. The exhibits are very well done. One of the better botanical gardens I have visited. The surrounding gardens were very pretty. I particularly enjoyed the lotus pond , bonsai, and native plants. Everything was just so well done. I feel like I could have spent a day.

Looking for a place filled with greenery and peace in the middle of the city? This botanical garden is located just a bit on the north of the city centre and can be reached with a single bus ride in the direction of Kitaoji Bus Terminal. The entrance fee is only 200 yen for adults (free if you come with kid and have まもっぷ app). There are always flowers blooming every season so we can enjoy whenever we visit. There are vending machines, a restaurant, a cafe, a plant shop, and lots of benches to rest.

Must visit place during spring and autumn. Free entrance for visitors 70 years and older so bring your passports. Surreal garden experience in some areas, love the serenity and wonders of nature here. Can also pay extra 200¥ (free for 70 years old up) to see the conservatory of tropical and dessert plants in their respective simulated climates. Magical and spiritual experience with nature.

Nice place to go for a walk. Entrance is pretty cheap. If you go in the mornings, you'll see a lot of plant enthusiasts with their cameras. But once you enter the different spaces, it'll feel like you're all alone because all you can hear is nature.

A great place to visit in Kyoto, you can find many kinds of trees coming from tropical, temperate countries and even on desert. If you have children, you can install the mamop app and get free entrance to both the garden and the greenhouse. The parking is available with 300¥/hour and 1200¥ for full day. A very good place to open children mindset.

Kyoto Botanical Gardens is centrally located and showcases diverse ecologies over a massive property. The flagship attraction is the arboretum (think biodome) which is worth the extra charge. The "cafeteria" is very reasonable and DELICIOUS. Payment is cash only (via vending machine) but the food is home cooking. Come for the curry & rice but stay for the rose flavored ice cream... YUM

Visited this wonderful garden on a rainy day, but that diminished its beauty not at all. Helpful staff (as everywhere in Kyoto!) guided through using the ticket machines. Wonderful easily accessible walking areas throughout the grounds, with areas of formal gardens. Don’t miss the indoor exhibits that are accessed for an additional small fee. Arid environment, tropical plants, orchids. A nice half day attraction.

We really enjoyed our stay at the botanical garden. Sadly we came at a time of the year (August) where there are not too many flowers blooming. The staff was super friendly and recommended areas to us where we could find the currently best spots in the park.

Helpful and caring staff at the entrance gave me a lot of tips on my way in. I came during the afternoon and was encouraged to stay until after sunset to see the garden lit up by lights. Did not regret staying for that!

Beautiful gardens with lots to see all year round. November is good for chrysanthemum and roses 🌹 Also amazing bonsai tree exhibition 😍

There is a lot to see during Cherry Blossom season, but the grounds are large with many extraordinary venues to see anytime. It is noteworthy that there are indoor displays from tropical to desert. There is an on sight restaurant with a wide variety of foods etc.

Incredibly beautiful and well worth anyone’s time. I had so much fun walking around, the park is very big! Even though I went mid December, there was still a bit of the Autumn colors left. Very very cheap for such an amazing experience with no crowds. The rose/raspberry ice cream was delicious! Very fun to eat it while walking around the rose bushes :) Lastly, the conservatory was awesome. There was so many beautiful exotic plants and flowers and water. There was even a few aquariums hosting plants from various regions and axolotls! I loved this areas.

The garden plus the green house is 400 yen. Green house has the largest selection of plant species in Japan. If you’re in Kyoto for more than three days, it wouldn’t hurt to stop by. The garden is a little rough though in August with the heat.

A great place to visit in a sunny day. 4000 Sq.meters of beauty and relaxion. We enjoyed the rose garden, bonsai exhibition and the breathtaking green houses. Entrance cost only 200 yen, entrance to the green houses another 200 yen. Less for children and free for people over 70. Warmly recommended!

I visited on a weekday of november. It has beautiful trees. The falls colors were beautiful and there are less people compared to temples.

One of the most beautiful botanical gardens we've ever visited! I think a lot of international tourists skipped on this and just visited temples is missing out many things. Simply the fact that this place has different areas that blooms on different time of the year makes it worth visiting at any time of the year. We visited by the end of November so we got to see red/yellow autumn leaves. It was soo beautiful all pictures we took ended up looking like a painting. A lot of the visitors are local (Japanese or visiting from other places) so you know it is a good place to visit.

Stunning place। Good to see for various types of flora। I enjoyed

Amazing gem in Kyoto. If you like flowers or trees, this is a great place to visit. Even on a rainy day it was romantic and peaceful. Quite muddy in the center (on rainy days) so be careful when not on the path. Parts of the gardens felt like a Ghibli film. Rose garden smelt so lovely! Visited in May and would return for a different season.

Great place to relax and enjoy bright colors and fragrances of various flowers. The garden is big so be ready to spend a day to really enjoy everything it has to offer. There is also a roofed conservatory. When I visited there was a flowering bonsai exhibition, quite a treat!

Visited at night during the Cherry Blossom season and it was a gorgeous place to be. The gardens had a nice night walking route through tulip displays and into a Sakura Grove which was lit up for better viewing. There are benches along the way, bathrooms available, and they even opened their conservatory for free. Tickets (2023) were 200¥ a person. No riffraff, no trash, and best of all only small groups of people allowing for a more relaxing stroll. Not pet friendly, at least in the Cherry Grove.

Depending on your luck and which season you visiting the park, you will see different kind of flowers. We are lucky seeing so many flowers/leaves for our visit during 30th Oct.....Red Autum leaves, multiple color of roses.....and with superb sunny weather.....

There have lots of old plant and different species of plant what I am never seen before.

I love being in nature & this place is perfect for nature lovers. Varieties of seasonal flowers. Visited in September 2022.

Good sized gardens. Popular with locals to sit under cherry blossom trees and have lunch and drinks with family and friends. Most of the areas are kid friendly and easy to push a pram

Spring and autumn would be the best season to enjoy the vibes here. I was impressed with the sakura blooming..entrance fee 400 yen (including conservatory), very worth it. You can also picnic here with family and friends.

Great place to see many lines of plants, especially flowers. I found many beautiful flowers in June where initially I was expecting to see Hydrangea. We didn't manage to go to Hydrangea garden cos we arrived around 15:30. The green house was closed during that time and the garden is big, we have no much time to go to every corner. But it was very satisfied because we saw many nice and beautiful flowers in 2 areas. Those who love flowers may consider to go. The entrance fee was ¥200 only. I'd like to go again next time.

Beautiful garden with plenty to do. There’s a grassy/picnic area.
