Inside the dome with illuminations
Illuminations in the gardens
A pansy garden with a landmark tree, although the pansy isn’t in full bloom yet.
The other specialty of the park is a circular pedestrian corridor with a roof and a wooden floor. The corridor is 1km long set around the dome connecting four satellite greenhouses and facilities. The corridor is also illuminated.
Lilies and orchids in the satellite greenhouses
Jurassic Park of light. It is Stegosaurus!
You can enjoy flowers and plants in day time, of course. But walking at night in LED illuminations is also fantastic. Please visit Tottori Hanakairo Flower Park both in the day and at night.
