Cute fun thing to do at night. Unfortunately I exited too late to try the food truck foods. I spent about an hour there. The lights are really fun but it does make it hard to really appreciate the plants. The music to go with the lights was also nice. I think this is more geared towards those who like to take photos and younger people.

This is one of the most memorable experiences during our travel to Kyoto. We went here in the evening and we were so tired from all the walking in the daylight. Visiting this one after all that was the best decision. The sound, lights, and plants around you will make you feel calm, rested, and connected with your surroundings.

Pretty great light show and it felt really peaceful to be surrounded with nature sounds and lights. Was pretty far from the central area of Kyoto though.

Super pretty light experience in their conservatory. Unique experience, better than most light shows I've been to, my favourite was the "invisible" section. The lights projected on the plants made it look like there were fireflies hovering over all the plants!

Great 4.0

I used this service because it was cheaper than booking directly. I enjoyed the illuminated plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, and the diverse plants in the greenhouse. This event made me want to visit the botanical garden during the day as well.

A wonderful exhibition. The greenhouse has been divided into four areas: Light, Water, Invisibility and Frequencies. Each area was represented by different light installations including sound. The plants, some of which have been integrated into the "show", make the whole thing a wonderful experience.
