Hirakata Park’s Amusement Park of Light brings a mix of glowing gardens, lantern-lit paths, and nighttime rides.
What happens?
The illuminations feature seven themed light areas, each designed to have its own atmosphere.
Among the highlights are the Flower and Fairy Tree, a towering 13-meter light display, and the Lighted Lantern Square, dotted with 500 lanterns. The Flower Fortune-Telling Fountain changes colors depending on your fortune.
Expect over 20 rides, including the Skywalker Ferris Wheel, which gives you an 80-meter-high view of the illuminated park and Osaka’s skyline.
There are also daytime floral displays, blending real blooms with the lighting installations for a different experience before sunset.
