The 'Southern Country Illumination' held at the Southeast Botanical Gardens in Okinawa Prefecture boasts top-level beauty in the country. Especially this year, with the theme of 'Southern Flowers Shining in a World of Light,' magnificent lotus flowers and palm trees shine, inviting visitors to a fantastical world. The garden features handmade, warm illuminations such as a 20-meter whale shark and colorful fruit objects. Additionally, the newly introduced 'Southern ECO Lights,' themed on ecology, present a world-first attempt melding nature's beauty and creativity. This event particularly offers a unique experience with 'Southern ECO Lights.' You can enjoy the story of lights across six areas while tracing the history of illumination. Please visit with your loved ones. The newly established whale shark area is particularly worth seeing. Don't miss the chance to take photos with the fantastic sea of lights as a backdrop. The experiences here will surely become memories of a lifetime.
