Garden of Wetlands in Hakone

Hakone Botanical Garden of Wetlands (箱根湿生花園, Hakone Shisseikaen) is a botanical garden in the Fuji Hakone Izu National Park. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park (富士箱根伊豆国立公園 Fuji-Hakone-Izu Kokuritsu Kōen) is a national park in Yamanashi, Shizuoka, and Kanagawa Prefectures and western Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. The garden was founded in 1976 as a place to preserve and exhibit over 1700 varieties of native Japanese hydrophytes and alpine plants. The garden, as its name reveals, focuses on plants that grow in wetlands, rivers, and lakes. This is the largest outdoor garden I had ever visited. In 2024, I want to visit this place again. #2024wish
