Japan Travel: Wandering through the Flowers at the Hokkaido University Botanic Garden, Hokkaido27 Moopon
Opened in 1886, the Botanic Gardens in Sapporo, Hokkaido, is the oldest in Japan. The operation of the Botanic Gardens is conducted by the Hokkaido University. The Botanic Garden preserved a small part of the forest which previously covered the Ishikari Plain. In addition to the forest, there is a greenhouse and an alpine garden. Four thousand types of plants can be found here. There are small museums on the grounds as well.
Though the primary purposes of the gardens are for scientific and educational reasons, the gardens are opened to the public to wander around the beautiful plant life. The garden has walkways and lawns. It is possible to have picnics here as well, though alcohol is not allowed. Also, the gardens are closed in the winter.
