The "Carnivorous Plant Exhibition" held at the Kochi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden is a special exhibition themed around the mysterious relationship between plants and insects. The display focuses on the unique evolutionary forms of carnivorous plants. As a facility honoring the achievements of Dr. Tomitaro Makino, a renowned botanist from Kochi, the exhibition offers highly specialized and professional content.
This exhibition highlights the unique morphology and ecological characteristics of carnivorous plants. The display is designed to help visitors visually understand how these plants capture prey and their specific survival strategies. Through this experience, you can explore the diversity of the plant world and the complex interactions between plants and insects in nature. A major feature of this event is the opportunity to observe these specialized plants alongside the seasonal scenery of the botanical garden.
The exhibition is scheduled to run from July 18, 2026, to August 30, 2026. During the exhibition period, side events such as the "Mysterious Carnivorous Plant Experience" may be held.

The venue, Kochi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden, is located in Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture. A dedicated display area for carnivorous plants will be set up within the garden. The botanical garden features vast grounds, allowing you to enjoy a stroll through the exhibition area.
This exhibition is incredibly engaging for anyone interested in plant morphology and ecology.

We recommend checking the official website in advance for details regarding exhibition content, workshops, or side events (such as cultivation classes), as these may require prior reservation.
As you will be walking through the botanical garden, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and walking shoes. Since the event is held during the summer, please prepare for heat by bringing water and sun protection.
