This botanical garden is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Tomitaro Makino, a world-renowned botanist born in Kochi.
The garden has about 3,000 species of plants related to Dr. Makino, 58,000 items from the Makino Collection, a greenhouse, and other facilities.
Most of the approximately 3,000 plant species planted in the Makino Botanical Garden, a research-oriented facility, are wild species, and the number of fans is gradually increasing as people become more nature-oriented.
The best time to see the flowers is azaleas in May and chrysanthemums from October to November, but visitors can see many wild species and enjoy the flowers in a way they cannot at ordinary flower viewing spots.
The Tosa Botanical Ecology Garden, the Garden of Plants Related to Dr. Tosa, and the large greenhouse are also available for visitors to fully enjoy the beauty of plants.
