At a Glance
The Kanagawa Prefectural Ofuna Botanical Garden is a botanical garden in Okamoto, Kamakura, covering 63,900 square metres. It opened in 1967 on the site of a former prefectural agricultural experiment station. Since 2018 a designated manager has run it, and it carries the nickname Hibiya Kadan Ofuna Flower Center under a naming-rights arrangement.
The garden gathers ornamental plants from Japan and abroad, with about 5,700 species recorded. Its core comes from the experiment station's own research and breeding, notably the early-flowering Tamanawa cherry, a Somei-yoshino cultivar, along with peonies and Japanese irises. Azaleas and camellias are also notable collections. The nearest rail station is Ofuna.
