Winter at a seaside theme park? Here’s what Laguna Ten Bosch has in store this season.
What happens?
Aichi’s Laguna Ten Bosch loves its seasonal spectaculars.
In fact, Laguna’s Carnival of Light and Water took the top technical award for illumination events in 2024/25.
In winter, the park is full of fireworks, lights, drones, and splashy stage shows.
Highlights 25/26
Hot off last year’s big win, this year sees the introduction of Marine Fantasia, a trio of domes filled with ocean-themed projection mapping. They’re connected by a glowing blue tunnel that’s meant to make you feel like you’re walking underwater. Inside, LEDs shift and ripple like moving currents.
The season’s showpiece is Flowers of Light and Water, a world-first performance where water drones and aerial drones glide over the lagoon in synchronized patterns.
Around the park, you’ll find glowing installations including the Crystal Arch, the Sea Tunnel, and the Tree in the Sky, an overhead canopy that looks like floating clouds of light.
More than one million LEDs brighten the park, including the Rainbow of Fortune, a corridor of 12 illuminated arches that lead the way to the Palace of Blue.
Schedule 2025
Fireworks will be held on December 20, 21, 24, and 25 starting at 8:15 p.m.
There will be a towering Christmas tree, which will be lit up until January 12.
How to get there
Laguna Ten Bosch is a little over an hour away from Nagoya Station. Take the Tokaido Line (headed for Toyohashi) and get off at Mikawa-Ōtsuka Station, then walk about 10 minutes.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
