By daylight, Osaka's Nagai Botanical Garden is an expansive botanical garden featuring numerous plants, flowers, forests, and ponds.
At night the garden transforms into an incredible art display, created by the one and only teamLab. The digital art collective's project Digitized Nature aims to transform nature into art without damaging it in any way, via the use of light.
The result is a haunting and otherworldly space that blends the natural world with the digital seamlessly.
This year the garden will feature a unique seasonal event, Life is a Flickering Light Floating in the Dark - Cosmos. The seasonal cosmos flowers will transform each night into their own cosmos of light, enchanting visitors. The flowers generally only bloom until the end of November, so be sure not to miss out on visiting during this period.
Though the cosmos flowers usually only bloom for a short period, the teamLab exhibit is a permanent one, and there are many other incredible sights to enjoy in the garden. These include the brilliantly lit camelia gardens, which feature glowing, alien-like ovoid shapes.
The exhibits react to their surroundings and those within them, changing with the weather, seasons, and movements of the visitors.
The botanical garden itself is home to a vast ecosystem, including many species of wild birds and approximately one thousand types of trees. The area is particularly beautiful in fall, as the countless trees turn crimson red.
Be sure not to miss out on visiting this unique botanical garden experience this fall, and enter into a whole other world with the help of teamLab's incredible digital light displays.
