Lonely Planet review

This botanical garden and museum complex, run by Hokkaidō University, has more than 5000 varieties of Hokkaidō's flora and is a relaxing spot for an afternoon nap. Near the main gate is a small Ainu (Japanese aboriginal people) museum with a good collection of Ainu tools, clothing, household utensils and ceremonial objects.

It's open daily except during October and early November when it is closed on Monday. Between early November and April, only the greenhouse is open to visitors.
