After that, in 2007, the name has been changed once again to the current name,'Road Corporation Arboretum'.

In the glass greenhouse and fern plant greenhouse, where green plants are always breathing, you can see 640 species of ferns, various kinds of orchids, aquatic plants, tropical/subtropical plants, succulents including cactus, and herb plants, so you can observe plants outdoors. It is a space where you can study plants even in this difficult winter. In particular, the glass greenhouse and the fern greenhouse are also growing plants that are not easily accessible, so you can feel a different view and atmosphere.
