At <strong>Nabana no Sato<\/strong> (\u306a\u3070\u306a\u306e\u91cc), you&#8217;ll witness over 26,000 square meters of the garden lit up to become <strong>one of Japan&#8217;s largest illumination festivals<\/strong>. <strong>Over 5.8 million LEDs<\/strong> turn the spacious fields of the Nabana no Sato park into a spectacular outdoor lights show, transforming a chilly winter night into dreamy images of mountains, rivers, oceans, and flower fields in every colour you could imagine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the garden hosts various events throughout the year, including flower festivals in the spring, firefly watching in the summer, and maple leaves viewings in autumn, the winter illumination is by far the biggest and most popular attraction (especially with domestic travellers). <strong>Each year, the illumination changes its theme<\/strong>, meaning annual visitors can return to a fresh new winter illumination display. It&#8217;s also an easy 30-minute drive or hour ride on public transit from neighbouring Nagoya city, making Nabana no Sato a <strong>popular destination for young couples and families with children<\/strong> who come to witness the vast scale of this spectacular illuminations show. If Japan&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/the-best-places-to-see-winter-illuminations-in-tokyo\/\" class=\"ek-link\">winter illuminations are on your list of must-sees<\/a>, then the attractions of Nabana no Sato will surely inspire a visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Nabana no Sato?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nabana no Sato is located in Kuwana City and is one of <strong>Mie Prefecture&#8217;s better-known tourist destinations<\/strong> due to their year-round flower festivals. Visitors to the 43,000 square meter park will be graced with colourful displays of flowers across its spacious open fields, including the plum and cherry trees in early spring, tulips fields in late March to late April, and the cosmos, dahlia, and roses gardens in early autumn. With the inclusion of the winter illuminations, the seasonal beauty at Nabana no Sato can be appreciated from day to night, yet another reason for its popularity. While Nabana no Sato is beautiful throughout the year, visitors shouldn&#8217;t defer their visit because it&#8217;s raining or snowing, especially during the winter illuminations, as LEDs reflected in the wet pavement or snowy pathways can make for an especially beautiful illumination experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to See at the Nabana no Sato Winter Illuminations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23160257\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_06.jpg\" alt=\"Illuminated mountain at Nabana no Sato illuminations in Japan\" data-id=\"76297\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23160257\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_06.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_06\/\" class=\"wp-image-76297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23160257\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_06.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23160257\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_06-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23160257\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_06-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23160252\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_05.jpg\" alt=\"red mountain lights at Nabana no Sato in Japan\" data-id=\"76296\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23160252\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_05.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_05\/\" class=\"wp-image-76296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23160252\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_05.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23160252\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_05-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23160252\/voyapon_nabana_illuminations_nagoya_japan_05-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">The 2020-2021 winter illumination theme is &#8220;Legend of Big Tree.&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, the theme of the illumination show changes, meaning that no two years are the same.

If you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/japan-rail-pass-guide-worth-tips\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Japan Rail Pass<\/a>, you can ride on the Hikari and Kodama class trains, but not the Nozomi class train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nabana no Sato Hours and Fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Entry to the park is 2,300 yen<\/strong>, including a 1,000 yen coupon you can spend at the restaurants or gift shops.
