• Nabana no Sato (October 19, 2024–May 29, 2025)
  

Part of Nagashima Resort, Nabana no Sato opened in 1998 as the largest theme park in the East China Sea area of Japan. It is famous for its square, which covers an area of 43,000 square meters. It also boasts scenic views of the sea and picturesque Japanese-style bridges over brooks. It is the largest garden in Japan. Here, thousands of beautiful flowers are arrayed according to a seasonally chosen theme. 

Nabana no Sato offers world-class floral views all year round, but the winter flower show is by far the most spectacular. From its beginning in autumn to its spring conclusion, many travelers head to Nabana no Sato during Japan's Lantern Festival season to enjoy the magical, romantic nighttime views of illuminated maple leaves and cherry blossoms. There are 8 restaurants in the park, serving Japanese, Chinese, and Western cuisine. 

In winter, the Tunnel of Lights is brilliantly lit by an astounding 1.2 million light bulbs, while a huge LED screen passing through the tunnel shows animations of cherry blossoms in each of the four seasons accompanied by traditional Japanese sound effects. In addition, you can catch a glimpse of a rare thousand-year-old olive tree that was imported from Spain in 2019. The theme changes every year, making this a must-see attraction.
