The Shinjuku Gyo-en Greenhouse is a greenhouse in Shinjuku Gyo-en, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. It was built in 1950 and displays more than 1,700 tropical and subtropical plant species, as of 2016.[1]
The Shinjuku Gyo-en Greenhouse was built on the site of a private mansion, property of daimyō Naitō Nobunari.
A government-managed agricultural experiment station was established there in 1872, and was later converted into an imperial garden in 1906. The space was utilised for international diplomacy, and was re-designed and opened to the public after World War II.[2]
The Greenhouse's construction was completed in 1950.
