LIGHT CYCLES KYOTO

Immerse yourself in a magical fusion of light, sound, and nature at Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Garden — a sensory night experience from spring to spring through March 2026.

Celebrate the centennial of the Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Garden with “LIGHT CYCLES KYOTO”, an immersive evening event showcasing the garden bathed in light and sound. As a flagship action in the Expo Kyoto Initiative, this event aims to revitalize the Kitayama-Kitaōji area through collaboration with local shops and the garden itself

Enjoy guided tours, workshops, seasonal light displays (including a special Christmas illumination), and original “plants + light”‐themed goods at the on-site Kyoto Botanical Gardens Store. Local eateries will offer exclusive food items only available here. For all ages, nationalities, and interests — nature and art blended in a night that’s uniquely Kyoto.
