The Makino Botanical gardens are built on the slopes of Godaisan - a small mountain East of Kochi's downtown. We were a group of 4 people and sadly only had one day in Kochi so we tool a taxi from our cruise ship directly to Makino to save time The gardens were built to honour the Kochi botanist Dr Tomitaro Makino, who was regarded as the father of Japanese botany At the reception entrance you can pick up maps of the grounds, we were very lucky to be there for the first flush of the cherry blossoms. Visitors are encouraged to walk on the grass and in amongst the trees which made for a really special experience. The conservatory was absolutely beautiful with a stunning collection of orchids well worth a visit and right next to the hillside temple of Chikurin-ji temple so you can visit both places in one journey

So very pretty. This is not a copy of the garden at Giverny, but rather a garden that recreates the feel and scenes of Monet's paintings. I was fortunate enough to visit in August, when the waterlilies were in flower.
