Koichi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden
2008-06-06 17:48:00 ?????????Any visit to Kochi on the southern coast of Shikoku should include a trip to the Godaisan area to the south of the city. There is much to see here including the beautiful temple, Chikurinji, but the highlight for me was the Koichi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden.First opened in 1958 this wonderful garden was created in honor of Tomitaro Makino (1962-1957), Japan's greatest botanist. Born locally Makino began his study of botany at Tokyo University, starting the Botanical Magazine Tokyo (now the Journal of Plant Research). Throughout his career, Makino traveled throughout Japan collecting over 400,000 specimens and naming over 1500 species.The garden is split into north and south gardens each with several sections with different environments, reflecting the varied flora that is found in Japan. There is a garden of medicinal plants, an oak garden, a bamboo grove, a tropical conservatory, a marsh area as well as a large cherry-blossom garden and a tea ceremony garden. The...

Nonhoi Park Zoo & Botanical Garden
2008-04-22 02:46:00 ?????????One stop south east of Toyohashi Station on the JR Tokaido Line is Futagawa. Once a famous way station on the Tokaido highway between Kyoto and Tokyo, Futagawa is known for its Futagawa Honjin Museum, a restored Edo Period inn. Most visitors to town, however, make for the more modern attractions of Nonhoi Park Zoo & Botanical Garden.A short walk over the river from JR Futagawa Station, Nonhoi Park packs a small zoo, a botanical garden and a fun fair all in to the one site.Popular with families and dating couples from as far afield as Nagoya and Hamamatsu, visitors can "enjoy" lions, tigers, bears, penguins and an assortment of animals from Australia.

The fondness of azaleas and suitable weather for the plants was what prompted Huette and Thompson to pursue the idea of an azalea garden to rival those of Charleston in S.C., which even during the depression years drew throngs of tourists annually. The city of Norfolk then provided Huette and Thompson with a seventy five acre section of high, wooded ground and another seventy five acres of the Little Creek reservoir to establish a city garden.The idea for what would eventually become Norfolk Botanical Garden came from Frederic Heutte, a young horticulturalist, and Thomas P. Thompson, Norfolk City Manager 1935-1938. Heutte had a fondness for azaleas and thought Hampton Roads had a climate uniquely suited for growing the plants. Heutte and Thompson believed that Norfolk, VA could support an azalea garden to rival those of Charleston, S.C.,...
