The Great Butterfly Greenhouse simulates the ecosystem of the Oze wetlands, maintaining controlled humidity and temperatures.
The facility intentionally focuses on 'common' creatures often overlooked in traditional zoos, such as insects and local freshwater fish.
The building features a specialized 'Touch Zone' designed to help children overcome fear of small animals through direct interaction.
A massive, life-sized replica of a rhinoceros beetle is often on display to illustrate insect scale.
The park integrates with the adjacent Motofuchie Park to provide a larger green buffer zone in an otherwise dense urban area.
Adachi Park of Living Things is a multi-story zoological facility focused on biological education and conservation within Motofuchie Park. Its centerpiece is the Oze-style Great Butterfly Greenhouse, a large, glass-enclosed habitat containing hundreds of tropical butterflies flying year-round. The facility houses over 200 species of animals, including aquatic life, reptiles, and small mammals like capybaras and squirrel monkeys. It features an indoor 'Living Things Hall' with interactive exhibits and an outdoor zone for bird watching and seasonal botanical displays. The park serves as a hub for local environmental education and community outreach programs.
Inside the Great Butterfly Greenhouse, where bright, tropical flowers attract butterflies to land on foliage.
Visit the butterfly greenhouse at the top of the hour when activity levels are highest.
Check the daily program schedule at the entrance for specific animal feeding times.
Dress in layers, as the climate-controlled greenhouse is significantly warmer than the rest of the facility.
Assuming it is a large-scale safari park; it is a compact, community-focused educational zoo.
Closed on Mondays (or Tuesday if Monday is a national holiday).
Do not touch animals unless explicitly permitted by staff; silence is requested in the insect observation areas to avoid startling the specimens.
