Nabananosato many people look forward to every year, will be held again this year! This year's new theme area is "Earth". On the largest scale in illumination history, the unexplored regions of the world's four continents and the spectacular scenery of Japan are vividly reproduced. Nabananosato is expressed with LED instead of projection mapping, giving it a different impact! We will also introduce prices, period, access, parking, and how to avoid crowds.

Nabananosato Illumination, which many people look forward to every year, is held! ``What will be the theme this year?'' I was looking forward to heading to Nabananosato.

First up is the 200m tunnel of light (Arching Illumination Hanakairo), which is a standard spot for photos. This tunnel is warmly decorated with incandescent light bulbs and is now Nabananosato illumination! It became so famous that it was said that When you walk through a tunnel of light, your mood will increase!

After passing through the tunnel, there is a themed area. This time's theme area is the newly introduced "Earth" ~Daichi~. It vividly depicts the unexplored regions of the world's four continents, as well as the spectacular scenery of Japan, on one of the largest scales in Japan. It is a huge panorama with a height of about 30m and a width of about 155m.

The photo shows the continent of Africa, with silhouettes of wildlife such as giraffes and elephants illuminated by the sun. It is set in the wild animals and nature that live in the savannah, and has an overwhelming sense of scale! The animals move lively.

This is Antarctica, where beautiful aurora lights shine in the night sky. Of course the movement of the aurora is beautiful, but the bottom part of the large LED is also linked. It is recommended that you view the entire movement from the observation deck on the second floor.

Similarly, in the Antarctic scene, wild animals such as penguins jump into the sea. We enjoyed the LED movement during the last "Heidi" event, but this year it has evolved even further.

A scene from Monument Valley in the Americas. The sight of the sun gradually getting brighter from dawn is spectacular, with blue skies, thunderclouds, and finally the rainbow scene in the photo. This time's themed area is all about the movement, so I thought it would be better to see it in real life than in photos.

The motif here is Plitvice Lakes National Park, a world heritage site on the Eurasian continent. It's a sight to behold as the vivid blues and greens turn into autumn, and the leaves begin to change color, becoming even more vivid.

The last stop is Japan's beautiful original scenery of rice terraces! Despite its grand scale, it is a landscape with a calming atmosphere.

Starting in January, a new scene is the display of fireworks in the night sky over the rice terraces. You can also see a cute rabbit making rice cake on the moon! Even if you have already seen Illumination before January, the new production is a must-see.

Following the themed area is a 100m tunnel of light that changes every year. The theme here is "autumn" this time, and the bright red color is impressive. It's as if you're surrounded by bright red autumn leaves, and it's as spectacular as a 200m tunnel of light. The color changes from green to orange to red with the three-color LED.

Nabananosato Illumination's symbolic tree ``Twin Tree'' is decorated with LED light bulbs all the way to the tips of its branches. Families and couples were happily taking photos in front of the 20m tall giant tree. By the way, this twin tree was ranked number one in Japan on NIKKEI Plus 1's ``Let's go to Christmas tree famous places this winter''! It's a must-see spot during the coming season.

There is a heart illumination right next to the twin trees! It is a photo spot where you can take pictures, so if you are a couple, why not take it as a souvenir?

The water illumination ``Taiga of Light'' located from the bridge Nabananosato Sato in the direction of the chapel expresses the beauty of the flowing river.

The LED light runs through it, and the color gradation is so beautiful that I never get tired of looking at it.

This photo was taken in the evening, but the sunlight is still shining and the gradation is beautiful! If you're looking to take photos, it's a good idea to go early.

In the sea of clouds, blue LEDs create a fantastic atmosphere. Since the LED is located low, it may be fun for children to have it close to their line of sight.

I took a picture with the 360 degree camera Theta. You can move the image on the linked screen by dragging your mouse or swiping your smartphone.

Nabananosato is not just about illuminations. The begonia garden at night is illuminated with warm colored lights, creating a different atmosphere than during the day. The pond in return is the perfect spot for photos! I think it would be good for Instagram.

Lastly...this is also Nabananosato Illumination's specialty (?) Yakisoba made on a large iron plate with the chant of ``It's delicious!'' It's rare to see yakisoba made with a scoop.

Yakisoba with proper dashi soup is delicious. The illuminations can be cold at night, so warm yourself up by eating hot yakisoba. There are many restaurants in Nabananosato, so you can enjoy the illuminations with your meal.

I enjoyed the illuminations more than I expected this year. You can enjoy it not only for first-timers but also for those who come every year!


For those coming by car Nabananosato will be very crowded during the illumination period. We recommend that you arrive a little later in the day so you can access the park more comfortably by shifting the peak hours.

During the illumination period, there will be a temporary large parking lot (Nagashima Spaland) available from 3:00pm to 7:00pm on certain days, and a free shuttle bus will be provided to pick you up from the venue.
