Chiba City Botanical Garden (千葉市都市緑化植物園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A city-run botanical garden in Midori Ward, Chiba City, where you can stroll while enjoying seasonal flowers and trees. The grounds feature flower beds, a demonstration garden, and shady, tree-lined paths, making it pleasantly cool to walk through even in summer. Plants are carefully labeled with their names, so exploring the garden with your child while learning the names together becomes a bit of a learning experience. It's just a short drive from the pool venue, making it a perfect stop to round off the morning. There are also benches and covered spots to rest, so you can take it easy.

Tips

Opening hours and closed days change by season, so check Chiba City's official information in advance. Mosquitoes appear in summer, so bringing insect repellent makes for a more comfortable visit. The garden may not always have a permanent shop, so it's reassuring to bring your own drinks. During times when sunlight is strong, choose to walk through the shadier areas.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. Choosing shaded paths keeps you cool even in the height of summer.
