Highlights
Step into a glowing nighttime wonderland at LIGHT CYCLES KYOTO, a limited-time immersive exhibition held inside the Kyoto Botanical Gardens. Celebrating the garden’s 100th anniversary, this after-dark experience transforms Japan’s oldest public botanical garden into a dreamlike world of light, sound, and living plants. Produced by the globally acclaimed digital art collective MOMENT FACTORY, the exhibition invites you to explore nature from a completely new perspective.
Wander through a 400-meter course inside Japan’s largest conservatory, where four uniquely themed zones awaken all five senses. As light projections, soundscapes, and set designs interact with lush greenery, plants seem to breathe, whisper, and glow in the darkness. It’s a magical fusion of art and science that offers an unforgettable evening experience in Kyoto.
- Immersive Nighttime Experience: Discover plants illuminated with light, sound, and projection after sunset.
- World-Class Digital Art: Experience a creation by MOMENT FACTORY, known for projects like the Tokyo Olympics and Sagrada Familia.
- Four Themed Zones: Journey through distinct immersive areas along a 400-meter course.
- Limited-Time Event: Celebrate the 100th anniversary of Japan’s first public botanical garden.
- Direct E-Ticket Entry: Enjoy smooth admission with QR code scanning at the gate.

Exceptional, Im sure you won’t have seen anything like it. An amazing experience of light and sound in a wonderful botanical setting. Easy access to the botanical gardens main gate or gate 3 via the subway. Enjoy!!!!
Great curated journey across the dome, really enjoyed the experience. Crowd control in place so we didnt feel overwhelmed. Will do it again if going to Kyoto next year.
Nice experience overall
