Shinjuku Gyo-en Greenhouse, Tropical plant greenhouse in Shinjuku Gyoen, Tokyo, Japan
The glass structure contains over 1,700 species of tropical and subtropical plants, with specialized sections for rare orchids and endangered flora.
In 1872, the site transformed from a private mansion into an agricultural experiment station before evolving into the current greenhouse, completed in 1950.
The greenhouse represents Japanese horticultural expertise through its collection of native species and precise cultivation methods developed over generations.
Located near three entrance gates, the greenhouse maintains temperature-controlled environments and offers guided tours explaining plant conservation efforts.
The facility serves as a research center for endangered plant species preservation, housing specimens from various tropical regions across the globe.
