Nishijima Horticultural Park: A paradise of Tosa surrounded by fruits and flowers

A Paradise in Tosa Surrounded by Fruits and Flowers

This spacious tourist farm spans approximately 6 hectares and includes about 10 cultivation greenhouses. The nursery, which grows around 200 plant varieties, features ceilings covered in vibrant bougainvillea, offering a tropical setting where premium melons and watermelons are available year-round. The café is popular for desserts made with generous amounts of seasonal fruit and a fruit tomato curry, and during the peak mango season from June to early July, mango pancakes and parfaits are also served. A souvenir corner showcases local specialties from Kochi Prefecture, including special sales of fully ripened mangoes, making this a highly recommended spot.
