The observation greenhouses are spectacularly arranged with pools, trees, and creative structures of flowers.

This is the entrance to the Orchid Sanctuary Dogashima. You buy your ticket (adults 1300 yen; students 650 yen) at the entrance and then ride an elevator up the hill to the Main Hall.

This giant peacock statue located by the entrance is made out of orchids and plant material. This picture does not do it justice.

Entrance to the main hall. This is the first hall filled with beautifully arranged orchids. There are various spots specially set up for photo opportunities.

This is one of the many amazing varieties of orchids. Your senses are filled with the colors, shapes, and textures of all the varieties of flowers.

Beautiful orchids are everywhere.

Various other plants and flowers in addition to orchids can also be viewed and enjoyed.
