Omiya Bonsai Village

975 Tour Reviews

The Omiya Bonsai Village is a collective of bonsai nurseries, which dates back to 1925. When the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 hit many of the bonsai nurseries in Tokyo were damaged. It is later that Omiya was chosen for bonsai lovers to relocate because of the access to land, good soil and clean water. When visiting the area, you will have the chance to go around the Omiya Bonsai Village where there are 5 nurseries kept by 5 different artisans. It is free to enter the gardens, but photographs are not allowed in the respective gardens. You can also find bonsai vendors within the vicinity as well as world class bonsai art. It is a quiet village where you can enjoy a stroll through the area and admire the foliage in any season. Nearby the village is the Omiya Bonsai Art Museum, the first public bonsai art museum in the world. The Omiya Bonsai Art Museum is where you will learn about the care and cultivation of bonsai. Bonsai is a form traditional planting art that can be traced back to the 9th century.
