Overview

Himi Seaside Botanical Garden is located in Matsudaehama, a beautiful beach with white sand and pine trees, overlooking Toyama Bay. Opened in 1996 as part of the "Toyama Prefecture Botanical Garden Project," connecting various areas of Toyama Prefecture, it's Japan's only botanical garden dedicated exclusively to coastal plants. It offers stunning views of Toyama Bay and the Tateyama mountain range. The garden features a viewing area with panoramic views of the Tateyama mountain range and Karajima Island seemingly floating on Toyama Bay, allowing you to simultaneously enjoy the magnificent natural scenery and the beauty of the plants. The display gardens feature coastal plants from across Japan, focusing on those found in the surrounding Matsudaehama and Abugajima Island. The greenhouse showcases many plants from tropical and subtropical regions, including cycads and pineapples. The glass tube offers a beautiful display of climbing plants like callistemon and bougainvillea. The coastal promenade protects and cultivates the coastal plants of Matsudaehama. It also boasts ample children's play equipment, making it enjoyable for families. Visitors can enjoy beautiful seasonal scenery, with cherry blossoms in spring and autumn foliage in autumn. The garden also features a gift shop, a display hall and main hall used for various events, workshops, and more. The Italian restaurant "Seaside House Volcano," located on the top floor viewing space, offers a stunning view of Toyama Bay. The facility underwent a major renovation and reopened on April 2, 2021, incorporating Himi satoyama cedar wood into the interior and play equipment. The facility's nickname has changed to "Seaside Park." Himi Seaside Botanical Garden provides a relaxing space to connect with nature. Be sure to visit!
