Hokkaido Garden Map

What is Hokkaido Gaden Road?
This is a 250km-long road that connects Daisetsu, Furano and Tokachi, and is home to eight of Hokkaido's most beautiful gardens. Taking advantage of Hokkaido's unique climate and scenery, there are a variety of unique gardens, including lush natural gardens, lovely rose gardens and authentic English-style gardens. It is worthy of being called Japan's Cotswolds (British Garden area) or the Romantic Road (one of Germany's tourist roads), and will build a new garden culture in Japan. It is also a tourist route where you can enjoy activities along with natural scenery and mountain ranges, and savour rich cuisine.

Hokkaido garden experts Ueno Sayuki and Kasa Kozaburo, along with Takano Landscape Planning, have teamed up to create this garden in the forest that spreads across the hills overlooking the Daisetsu mountain range. The garden is a forest flower garden where over 500 varieties flowers bloom while making the most of the natural trees. At the back of the garden is the Forest Guest House, where trees and pretty flowers compete with each other.

Based on the British style, the garden is characterized by its free growth of plants suited to Hokkaido's climate and soil. You can enjoy the changing garden from spring to autumn along with the flowers that bloom with the seasons, and you can look out over the beautiful countryside from the shooting range that can be climbed from the garden.

The animals roam freely and the garden has a relaxed atmosphere. The natural "Gnome Garden" opened in 2016 and is now twice as large as before. We look forward to your visit.
