Lonely Planet review for Kyoto Botanical Gardens

One of Kyoto’s most underappreciated sights, this vast garden, opened in 1914, occupies 240,000 sq metres and features 12,000 plants, flowers and trees. It is pleasant to stroll through the rose, cherry and herb gardens or view the rows of camphor trees and the large tropical greenhouse (adult ¥200). Pack a picnic and bring a Frisbee or a ball to toss and you’ve got the makings of a very pleasant afternoon on a warm day in Kyoto.
