WINTER LIGHT FESTIVAL, KUWANA CITY (JAPAN)
The Nabana No Sato botanical garden elegantly celebrates winter in style, using over 7 million LED lights to light op the giant garden. Most of the LED lights are powered by batteries charged with solar panels during the day, so the effects on the environment are minimal. Walking through these botanical gardens at night during the Winter Light Festival surely mimics walking through a magical land!
Located in Kuwana City (Mie Prefecture) is Nabana No Sato, a flower-focused park featuring sprawling gardens and giant greenhouses. Running annually from mid November to mid March is one of Japan’s finest Winter Illuminations, including the famous tunnel of light.
The park also features an onsen (hot spring) and a variety of restaurants including the Nagashima Beer Garden. Open from 9am – 9pm, the park is a very popular tourist attraction so be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends.
