Japanese cobra lily presents with a distinctive spathe and spadix structure, which contributes to its exotic appearance. The spathe, a leaf-like bract, often flaunts shades of green with white or purple stripes, while the central spadix stands erect, encased in the spathe's protective coil. This species has large, glossy leaves which are trifoliate, meaning they split into three leaflets, and can reach up to 12 inches (30 cm) in width. The leaves may bear subtle hints of red near the veins or margins. Its tuberous roots are robust and contribute to the plant's perennial life cycle.
