Megrass Garden Nagoya

Megrass Garden Nagoya is a garden facility located along the coast in Minato Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. The grounds consist of six beautiful zones with a pleasant, layered design, where a “relay of flowers” unfolds throughout the year. In the special space “Secret Garden,” open only in spring, visitors can enjoy an immersive experience surrounded by flowers and appreciate the garden as if viewing art... Along with proposing this new kind of value, we hope to bring many moving experiences to all who visit through the power of plants. A “garden,” where plants live, is a place of constant change—eternally unfinished. From the fresh first year after its renewal opening to the second and third years beyond, we aim to create a next-generation garden that “continues to evolve,” so that its character deepens ever more richly each time the seasons turn.
