Bonsai is now attracting new attention as an art work that Japan can show the world. Because Bonsai expresses the beauty and severity of Japanese nature. And, there is no better place in the world to engage in bonsai-related activities than in this Bonsai-cho, literary translated as "Bonsai City". This "Bonsai City" was established around 100 years ago by a group of bonsai gardeners after the Great Kanto Earthquake. The area is surrounded by greenery and is home to 5 long-established bonsai gardens. Learn in depth about bonsai from a dedicated guide and get a hands-on experience.
