Overview

The Tajima Highland Botanical Garden is a municipal botanical garden located in Kamicho, Mikata-gun, Hyogo Prefecture. Designated as part of the Hino-yama, Ushiroyama, and Nagiyama Quasi-National Park, it's situated at an elevation of 680 meters in the Torokawa-hira wetland, a haven of springs. Established on June 15, 1997, and ranked #1 in Hyogo Prefecture's Top 100 Tourist Sites, this garden offers a rejuvenating escape where you can connect with nature. Highlights include the over 1,000-year-old "Waike no Ookatsura" (Great Katsura Tree of Waike) and "Sennen-sui" (Millennium Water), selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Famous Waters (Heisei Period). The "Waike no Ookatsura" is a must-see symbol of the garden, its ancient presence evoking a sense of awe and the power of nature. "Sennen-sui" is a spring that has long been cherished by the local people. Its refreshing and mellow taste is a true gift of nature. A conifer garden and flowerbeds bursting with various blossoms offer a beautiful sight in every season. From spring cherry blossoms and azaleas, to summer hydrangeas and sunflowers, and autumn's vibrant foliage, there's always something to admire. The Tajima Highland Botanical Garden is a highly recommended spot for connecting with nature and revitalizing both mind and body.
