【Kyoto】A Botanical Garden Enveloped in Fantastical Light and Sound

🌙 I missed this event last year, but hearing that it's being held year-round this time, I couldn't wait to check it out. Even on rainy days, the greenhouse provides a safe haven, and I was completely absorbed with my camera in hand. Two grown-up ladies giggling and snapping away! While it’s perfect for a romantic date, it’s also a fantastic spot to enjoy with friends. 📍LIGHT CYCLES KYOTO An interactive night event featuring light and sound by the world-renowned art collective "Moment Factory."
