Discover more about Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome

The Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome, or Yumenoshima Nettai Shokubutsukan as it's known to locals, is a captivating botanical garden located in Yumenoshima Park, Koto Ward, Tokyo. This unique attraction is housed within three interconnected geodesic domes, creating a lush tropical environment in the heart of the city. Built on a reclaimed landfill site, Yumenoshima, meaning "Dream Island," was once a garbage disposal area. Today, it has been transformed into a green oasis, with the greenhouse dome as one of its main attractions. Opened in 1988, the greenhouse utilizes waste heat from a nearby incineration plant to maintain a constant temperature of 15°C, making it a comfortable escape year-round. Inside, visitors can explore three distinct zones, each showcasing different aspects of tropical and subtropical plant life. Dome A replicates a rainforest habitat, complete with a waterfall, ferns, and various tropical water plants. Dome B displays a mixed tropical village, featuring palms and other domestic plants. Don't miss Dome C, which is dedicated to the vegetation of the Ogasawara Islands, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site, and its rare plants. You'll also find a small carnivorous plant section with intriguing specimens. The Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome offers an educational and immersive experience for visitors of all ages. It's a great place to learn about tropical ecosystems, discover rare and unusual plants, and simply enjoy the beauty of nature.
