Japan’s winter light show has taken place at a botanical garden on the island of Nagashima in Kuwana since Nov. 3 and will be on display until March 31, 2013, dazzling visitors with its display of 7 million LED lights. The illuminated wonderland is considered the best lightshow in the country.
This year’s theme is “nature.” Displays feature breathtaking scenes inspired by Japan’s famed Mt. Fuji at sunrise, as well a rainbows across the sky and landscapes resembling an aurora.
Previous shows have also featured many beloved Japanese characters such as light bedazzled Domo-kun. It is particularly popular for its Christmas and wintertime feel.
The LED lights supposedly sprawl the entirety of the garden, over its grounds and are even strewn over the water. The entire LED light show is solar powered, and environmentally friendly.
