History
The Shinjuku Gyo-en Greenhouse was built on the site of a private mansion, property of daimyōNaitō 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.
The Greenhouse's construction was completed in 1950.
