What other travelers are saying about The Kochi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden
We love this Botanical Garden a lot. The story of the father of Japanese Botany was inspiring. His detailed drawings of every plant was amazing especially in those days when cameras were luxury that botanists couldn’t afford. The orchids smelled wonderful in the Orchid Gallery. The conservatory was full of all kinds of rare plants and flowers. If you love succulents, you wouldn’t want to miss the conservatory that exhibited all kinds of haworthia. We highly recommend this attraction for visitors coming to Kochi.

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 garden worth visiting in Kochi, Shikoku. I highly recommended you all to try this location even though it kinda feels difficult to travel to.
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.
