Aquatic Plant Garden

We opened the aquatic botanical garden after we deployed wooden paths at the place where water from the backyard of Jindai-ji temple accumulated and became a wetland.
Part of the garden was designated as a “National Historic Site Jindai-ji Castle Ruin”.
In the pond and waterways, reed grasses, Amur silver-grasses, Wild rices, Typha orientalis and Acorus gramineus (Japanese rushes), as well as water irises, bur reeds, cow lilies, water fringes, primulas, Japanese loosestrife, and Lobelia sessilifolia are planted.
In the Iris Garden in June, you can enjoy seeing about 1,500 Japanese irises seedlings, with 50-species.
