Why You Should Visit

Rokko Alpine Botanical Garden, closed for the winter, opens its gates on weekends and holidays from late February to early March for the first flowers of spring. The draw is a large colony of Coptis quinquefolia (baikaoren), a flower the botanist Tomitaro Makino loved all his life, along with Amur adonis glowing gold against the snow. Admission is discounted during the special opening, and garden guides lead walks at 10:30 and 13:00. A good chance to see the mountaintop garden in bloom before the regular season begins.
