Among the highlights of this meandering, 14-hectare outdoor garden maintained by Hokkaidō University, is a collection of 200 plants and herbs historically used by the Ainu as medicine, food and raw materials for clothing. There's also a landscaped section that evokes the alpine scenery of a mountain in Daisetsuzan, in northern Hokkaidō.
