Manabe Garden (Hokkaido Garden Path)

Stroll through a Northern Forest, Meet Ezo Squirrels, and Find Tranquility

Located in Obihiro City, Manabe Garden is Japan's first expansive garden dedicated to conifers, opened to the public since 1966. Its vast size, about 83,000 square meters (1.7 times the Tokyo Dome), features thousands of rare tree species painstakingly cultivated over 60 years and sourced from Northern Europe and Canada. This unique landscape is a defining highlight on the Hokkaido Garden Path.


Well-maintained paths seamlessly connect Japanese, Western, and natural Landscape Gardens. Witness Ezo hydrangeas in early summer, and feel the fresh scent of greenery. In autumn, spot Ezo squirrels foraging as maples turn vibrant colors. Manabe Garden awaits you to slow down, offering a tranquil space for a heartfelt dialogue with nature in Hokkaido.
