Creator's Key Takeaways

The botanical gardens here are free. Anybody can come in.

It's a really cool place. I mean being that we were just in Japan back in April, this was really nice to see.

It's a little bit of a slope, so you're going to have to make a climb back up to where the car is at.

Don't know if I'd recommend coming back unless you are fully prepared for everything that goes on.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early at botanical gardens to find parking.
Be prepared for a hike and wear appropriate shoes at nature preserves.
Check for reservations and expected presentations at paid attractions.
