This plant museum within Tokiwa Park is a facility where you can experience "traveling the Earth" by displaying plants from eight regions of the world (Europe, Africa, Asia, Central and South America, etc.) according to their respective environments. The sight of unique baobab trees, colorful and rare cacti, tropical flowers, and more gathered from around the world is spectacular. The beautiful glass greenhouse is a healing space flooded with light, where you can experience the diversity of plants and the wonder of life up close. Along with the outdoor sculptures that are the symbol of Ube City, it is a sophisticated botanical spot where you can enjoy the harmony of art and plants.
