About

The Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome in Koto City is a stunning botanical attraction that houses over 1,000 species of tropical plants under three massive interconnected glass domes. A beautiful waterfall anchors the main dome, surrounded by towering palms, rare orchids, and plants from tropical regions across the globe. For young children who have never experienced a tropical climate, the sensory immersion is immediate and memorable.

The domes were built on what was once a landfill island in Tokyo Bay, and the park surrounding them is a wonderful free outdoor space for families to extend their visit. The warm, humid interior is a welcome escape on cold or rainy Tokyo days, and the scale of the plant collection gives it a genuine wow factor that exceeds expectations for such an affordable attraction.

Admission is minimal, around USD 2-3 for adults and free for younger children, making this one of the best value outings in the greater Tokyo area. The domes are managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and are well maintained with stroller-accessible paths throughout. Plan about 1-2 hours inside the domes, then head into Yumenoshima Park for a picnic or active play on the outdoor sports fields.

Closed on Mondays.
