Laguna ten bosch: Winter Laguna 2017-2018

The "Blue Palace", starting from this year, is an illumination which works together with the water (reflection). The blue palace shines magnificently in the centrer of the sea of lights reflecting on the water all around, creating a grand view of blue lights. In addition, 4 illuminations including the "Jewel Garden", an illumination inside the water realized by the newest technology, and the "Lucky Rainbow Arch", using 1,000,000 light bulbs, will be displayed. There will also be 3 displays of projection mapping, including the "NEIGE", which will be shown in 360° 3D, only available during the winter.

From JR Gamagori Station (nearest station), there is a free shuttle bus operating. We recommend you to go and see for yourself!

　

Centrair sky illumination - The eye of the cathedral

The "Cathedral", an illumination resembling a cathedral, will be on display at Chubu Centrair International Airport. The cathdral, made of a dome of over six meters in diameter with ten back arch panels, goes through seven changes of colour, a different one every time the bell rings. In addition, you can experience "The cathedral bell" (ringing the bell), and "Rainbow corridor" (a corridor that changes colors everytime you step on it). It is also recommended as a great place to take photos. There will be a colorful "sky arch" on the two transepts extending from the cathdral. You can see the spectacular night view of the sky arch while enjoying your meal in the restaurant near the sky deck, or from the bench inside the sky arch.
