Certified as a "Nature Coexistence Site" by the Ministry of the Environment!

The area has been certified as a "Nature Coexistence Site" by the Ministry of the Environment as an "area where biodiversity conservation is being promoted through private initiatives, etc."

Our garden, opened in 1933, is the oldest private alpine botanical garden in Japan. The garden has been recognized for its value in preserving the natural environment of Mt. Rokko as a sanctuary, where rare plants and animals live, and for the ex-situ conservation of rare highland plants. The garden is also a habitat for the insects and animals that inhabit Mt. Rokko, including rare species, and we will continue to maintain a healthy ecosystem where a diverse range of plant and animal species live and thrive, as well as conducting environmental education and biodiversity awareness-raising activities.
