Kiseki No Hoshi Greenhouse, Botanical garden in Awaji Yumebutai, Japan
Kiseki No Hoshi Greenhouse is an indoor botanical garden in Awaji Yumebutai, Awaji, Hyogo Prefecture, designed by Tadao Ando and completed in 2000. Its exhibition greenhouse has a floor area of 6,700 m², the second largest in Japan after Sakuya Konohana Kan, with a high ceiling that increases the sense of scale. The interior is divided into a Symbiosis Culture Zone and a Flowers and Greenery Lifestyle Zone, and contains exhibition rooms such as Green Sculpture, Garden of Colors, and Garden of Evolution.
The greenhouse opened on 18 March 2000 as "Kiseki no Hoshi no Shokubutsukan" (Miracle Planet Botanical Museum), designed by architect Tadao Ando with planting planned by Tomoko Tsujimoto. On 18 September 2021 it was renamed Awaji Green House and reopened with new garden facilities for the Awaji Flower Expo 20th anniversary fair.
The greenhouse functions as a space where visitors learn about plants and their environments through exhibitions and hands-on experience with different species. The layout encourages people to explore how plant diversity works and why it matters.
Plan to spend two to three hours exploring the different sections at a comfortable pace. The facility has accessible pathways and ramps throughout, making it easy to navigate the entire space.
The exhibition greenhouse covers 6,700 m², second in Japan only to Sakuya Konohana Kan at 6,900 m². Its ceiling height adds to the sense of scale. The building was designed by Tadao Ando, with exhibition planning, landscaping and planting by Tomoko Tsujimoto.
