Kochi, Japan

Sometimes it’s good to have no plans. We took a taxi to the Kochi Prefectoral Makino Botanical Garden. Driving there was a highlight, up a hill on the narrow road. We passed a Tori gate to a shrine and a small village area. Finally we arrived. Tomitaro Makino, known as the father of Japanese botany was its founder. Everything was labelled.
