Operated by the prestigious University of Tokyo as a highland branch of its main research facility, the Nikko Botanical Garden provides a peaceful woodland sanctuary for nature lovers. Meandering trails lead visitors through shady groves, babbling streams, and an expansive living collection of alpine plants and heritage trees. It is particularly enchanting during autumn when vibrant maples ignite the canopy and in spring when delicate mountain wildflowers emerge. Offering a quiet contrast to Nikko's bustling historical shrines, this verdant oasis is perfect for an unhurried, restorative stroll.
