Itami City Museum of Insects, Insect museum in Koyaike Park, Itami, Japan.
The museum features a large dome-shaped greenhouse containing 1,000 butterflies from 14 different species among tropical flowering plants throughout the year.
The museum opened its doors in November 1990 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Itami City, initially managed by the Itami Park Greenery Association.
The facility contributed to preserving insect specimens from Rikuzentakata City Museum after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, demonstrating Japanese museum cooperation.
The museum welcomes visitors from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, charges 400 yen for adults and 200 yen for students, with the butterfly greenhouse opening at 10:00 AM.
The museum maintains one of only three exhibits in Japan displaying leaf insects, alongside 30 different insect species in the live specimen room.
