Egeyama shou koen park was renovated! The Egeyama shou koen park is known as the place where Dr. Tomitaro Makino’s laboratory was once situated. Dr. Tomitaro Makino was a pioneer Japanese botanist who was linked to Kobe.
This park is commonly called “Makino koen park” and it has been loved by Kobe locals.
In the park, Dr. Makino-related items can be seen such as the monument of the botanical laboratory site, a bench made with the gate post pillars of his dormitory, and plants named by him.
Many of the visitors stop by the pergola using Dr. Makino’s laboratory as a motif.
