Style of greenhouse is similar to customer ordinary have, which planting in soil and give result practically.
For the improve of bulb quality and stability, experience at here is exchanged with bulb growers.

Training facility

It equip cooling room for pre-rooting and packing space for flower, which optimum to provide educations to trainee aiming to cut flower grower.

Test greenhouse

We opened it in 2007. It covers an area of 2390 square meters. There is greenhouse ; acreage is 1630 square meters with 6 independent rooms, Venlo type; so-called “Dutch right style” in Japan, also, cool-ware, warehouse, experimental room too.

New bed system in our test greenhouse

We put “Super drain bed 85” developed by Japan Agricultural Assn (Zennou) as the planting bed in our test greenhouse. So, when we give steam disinfection not to all of the field but only to beds, it saves time and cost a lot. We manage the test growing by computer; irrigation, fertilizer, temperature, ,shading, open and close the windows, heating, cooling by mist, ventilation-fans, etc.
Our test greenhouse is one of the biggest greenhouses of importers in Japan, we test many subjects there and give many suggestions and information to flower growers every year.

Self generator of electric power

In case of emergency, even if the power station cannot supply electric power we can generate the power by this machine by ourselves and can work our wares.

Crushing machine of empty crates

To crush the empty crates to make them small chips.Then we can recycle them as plastic materials. There is a machine underground to lower the noise.

Big bath

Usually we work it to give domestic grown longiflorum “Hinomoto” hot water or running water treatment to break dormancy.

Quarantine green house

In the cooperation with hybridizing company, we conduct special test for number varieties before commercialized. It equip 2 electric heating machine.
This is one of the earliest test of Dutch new crop, which is note by bulb growers in the world.

cool-warm ware

We built new cool-warm ware in 2009. It covers an area of 1356 square meters. It has three freezing rooms to keep the 25,000 cases of bulbs in very strict suitable temperature and humidity condition, without strong wind in the rooms to protect dryness.

Cold chain

In the temperature controlled front wide path-room, we carry the trucks and containers into the facility, which provide loading and unloading in the summer safely.

Facility for defrosting

We have two rooms and one building for defrosting, they can keep cool and warm. In winter, we keep the temperature warmer to defrost in good condition.

Solar generating system

We put the solar panels, on the roof of 4 our buildings. They can generate Max.242KW by sunshine, to supply most of necessary power to use in daytime.
Solar panel also shade the whole roofs to prevent facility heated up.
Altogether management cost of cooling warehouses are much controlled, and part of cost reduce is distributed as deduction of cooling charge for customers.
