"This under-loved 60-acre green space onthe east bank of the Kamo River with 120,000 plants and more than12,000 species is one of the best spots in Kyoto to reflect on nature. The garden has extensive cherry tree groves, tropical greenhouses filled with rare flora, a night flower garden planted with nocturnal blooms, and beds of perennials and annuals thatattract bees,small copper butterflies, and Daurian redstart birds."
