PicPost: Great Garden @ Awaji Yumebutai, Japan

‘Awaji Yumebutai is the site where earth was removed to build artificial islands in Osaka Bay such as the Kansai International Airport. The natural environment which was once destroyed by man has been returned to its original state and a place where various animals and plants exist has been created.

Before the building was built, saplings that match the flora of Awaji Island were first planted. Designed by famous architect Tadao Ando, Awaji Yumebutai is a one-of-a-kind “environment creation” project equipped with facilities that blend in with the magnificent landscape that takes advantage of a dynamic slope.

As a core part of the “Awaji Island International Park City” being promoted by Hyogo Prefecture, Awaji Yumebutai was constructed along with the adjacent Akashi Kaikyo National Government Park and opened on March 9, 2000. The facilities also hosted the Awaji Flower Exposition “Japan Flower 2000” that ran from March 18 to September 17 that same year…’
