How to say "plantation" in Japanese

• 農園のうえんCommon
  nounCovers the main sense of 'plantation' as a large farm growing a single crop, such as tea or rubber. This is usually the word you want for that meaning.
  彼かれは農園のうえんを売うって大金たいきんをにぎった。↗

  He realized a large sum by the sale of the plantation.
• 植え込みうえこみCommon
  nounHere 'plantation' means a thick planting of shrubs or trees, close to 'shrubbery' or 'thicket'. It does not refer to a large agricultural estate; for that, another word is the natural choice.
• 耕地こうちJLPT N2approx.Common
  nounMeans arable or cultivated land, so 'plantation' here is land under cultivation rather than an estate. Better suited to farmland contexts than to a tropical crop plantation.
• 園えんJLPT N1approx.Common
  noun (suffix)Glossed as garden, orchard, park, and plantation, but on its own it usually means a garden or park; the plantation sense is secondary. It commonly appears in proper names.
  彼かれらは私の果実かじつ園えんを荒あらした。↗

  They robbed my orchard.
• 畑はたけJLPT N3approx.Common
  nounA field for growing crops or vegetables, so it matches 'plantation' only loosely, in the sense of cultivated land. For a large crop estate, 農園 is the better word.
  春はるになると畑はたけをほりかえして種しゅをまきます。↗

  When spring comes, they dig up the fields and plant seeds.

For large commercial farms use 農園; for planted fields or arable land use 畑 or 耕地; for ornamental plantings use 「植え込み」; 園 appears in garden and orchard contexts.
