Located in the large, wondrous and amazing Kyoto Botanical Gardens, you’ll find their conservatory greenhouse filled with plants and trees. Costing a mere ¥200 for adults to enter, I really suggest heading in! They boast a huge collection of 25,000 specimens across 4,500 different species.
Opened in 1992, the conservatory is designed to resemble the nearby Kinkaku-ji, a temple also known as the Golden Pavilion, as well as Kyoto’s northern mountains.
The conservatory opens each day at 10AM and has a winding path to take you through the many different climate rooms:
- Ananas room
- Aquatic and carnivorous room
- Bromeliads room
- Desert and savanna room
- Forest succulent room
- Jungle zone
- Orchids room
- Potted plants room
- Tropical alpine room
- Tropical produce room
