Manabe Garden (Hokkaido Garden Path)
Stroll through a Northern Forest, Meet Ezo Squirrels, and Find Tranquility
A vast conifer garden in Obihiro City, home to thousands of rare trees from Northern Europe and Canada. Visitors can enjoy seasonal blooms, encounter Ezo squirrels, and experience a peaceful natural escape in Hokkaido.
Manabe Garden is Japan's first expansive garden dedicated to conifers, open to the public since 1966. Its vast size of about 83,000 square meters (1.7 times the Tokyo Dome) is home to thousands of rare tree species, painstakingly cultivated over 60 years and sourced from Northern Europe and Canada. This unique collection is a highlight of the Hokkaido Garden Path.
Well-maintained paths guide visitors through Japanese, Western, and natural landscape gardens. In early summer, enjoy the blooming Ezo hydrangeas and the fresh scent of greenery. In autumn, observe Ezo squirrels foraging among the colorful maples.
Take a leisurely stroll through the garden to experience Hokkaido’s tranquil beauty, seasonal changes, and the charm of rare trees and wildlife—a perfect getaway for nature lovers and families alike.
