What other travelers are saying about Hakone Botanical Garden of Wetlands
If you’re into plants or nature person, then recommend! Depending on the season, there are different flowers blooming. They have few carnival plants, which was cool. Entrance 700 yen.
Went during light shower rain but that made it even better!
Staff were kind, ticket buying process was easy, you can park in the car park nearby for free.
Not many flowers when I went, but you see many crawdads, a carnivorous plants section, and can walk around 7 more sections of different themes(swamp, wetlands etc). There is a little shop there too for cute bits and bobs.
Loved this place! It was so beautiful with lots of birds and lizards. The wildflowers were stunning in the natural scenery. There was a fantastic carnivorous plant exhibit while I was there. You can spend a lot of time exploring the environments. Great if you love nature and plants. The store has some cute merch and good soft serve.
Not many brightly colored flowers but so many other species of leaf like plants! Definitely recommend if interested in flowers! 700 yen entrance and scenic walking route. Recommend umbrella if visiting on a sunny day!
