What other travelers are saying about The Kochi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden
This place is just amazing! So many beautiful plants and the garden layout is such a pleasure to stroll through, even though it is so big. I could happily spend a whole day here! Didn’t eat at the restaurant this time, but on a previous visit the pasta lunch was good. A great day out for family and couples, and a fantastic learning experience for kids.
Beautiful place to walk around. It is quite large, and there are dozens of little paths that go off the main walkways into forests and gardens. One warning, however, as it is on the top of a hill, you will have to go up and down a lot of stairs and slopes to see much of what is here.
This is an absolutely beautiful garden with flowers and plants from all over the world. There is a small interactive lab you can visit and an amazing outdoor area with beautiful scenery where you can walk around and take pictures. A must see in Kochi.
One of the most beautiful and stunning Botanical Gardens I have ever visited. Right at the start of Cherry blossom season was the perfect time to visit
Worth a visit if you’re staying in or near Kochi. We were staying in Tosayama and were recommended to visit this place by our hosts. We didn’t have long however we were able to enjoy the glass house and main garden in a few hours but you could easily spend a whole day here. Beautifully maintained and informative
