Hi everybody,
Today we took a side trip down to Nabana no Sato in Mie
Prefecture! It’s near a place called Nagashima in Nagoya. It’s basically a huge
flower garden with lots of pretty sakura trees and tulip fields and
greenhouses. There’s also a pretty lake and a cool UFO-type viewing tower.
But the best part is the Winter Illumination. They cover the
park in Christmas lights and at night light them up. They also build a tunnel
of lights! So pretty and romantic! There’s also a big light show on the nearby
hill – basically think World of Color w/o the Disney characters.
Thanks to Pearly-nee for telling us about this wonderful
place!
It was kinda cold and very packed – there were lots of
families and couples who came. I think the entire light area was so busy, and
we could hardly move. And although we saw the tunnel clearly, we were so far
away from the light show that we couldn't see it well.
We were surprised it was so packed since this place was kind
of out of the way – 40min train from Nagoya, the closest big city (Nagoya is
about 1 hour away from Kyoto by Shinkansen).
That said – I do recommend going (to see the light show you
have to go between January and March)! It’s so pretty! Just be prepared for
crowds and cold.
But really – you can’t beat the tunnel or the night-lights
on the sakura trees!
Until then, please enjoy these pictures!
