#100 Ways to Travel Kyushu Takeo's famous scenic spot #米fun山楽园, in addition to the sea of ​​azaleas and ship-shaped rocks, the most eye-catching is #teamlab's surreal light and shadow scene #神 resides in the forest A Forest where Gods Live. Because I stayed at the Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel, I was able to enter and exit the exhibition for free. As soon as you step into the dark hall, the lighting is like a hundred lights in a row, filling the entire space. Reflected by the mirrors on the four walls, it is infinitely magnified, high and low, unevenly distributed, like countless sky lanterns rising into the sky, and the lights It will produce changes and sounds with every move of the person, just like a dream. The teamLab exhibition is divided into indoor and outdoor areas. This time we mainly visited the four indoor exhibition areas: #echolightforestwithspiral The glass lampshade from Burano Island is used to cover the entire space, with layers of light and dark flashing, which is the reception area of ​​the check-in lobby of the aforementioned hotel. #forgottenrocks Among the ruins, there are 20 luminous crystal rock pillars standing diagonally, flickering on and off like breathing, as if walking into an alien's secret base. #graffitinatural The creatures living in the abandoned public bathhouse are various creatures described by visitors, like ribbons of light and shadow dancing and spreading. #flamelightsculpting Through the collection of point lights, a flame sculpture of a three-dimensional object is created. The flames burn more intensely as people get closer. It is like a dream and transcends reality. I admire teamLab for designing such a wonderful light and shadow environment according to local conditions. Don’t miss it when you visit Mifuneyama Rakuen Garden. teamLab: A Forest Where Gods Live - GC Exhibition period: 2024/7/12-11/4 #JapanTandian #KyushuAttractions #Mifuneyamarakuen #teamlab #神 resides in the forest

For art lovers who love digital art and great ideas, you must have heard of or visited the work of the world's most famous digital art team, teamLab. This time, I will take you to see the largest scale work of teamLab that I have ever been to. The exhibition area covers a large onsen hotel, an abandoned onsen, old buildings, and a wide area in the forest for you to see in a very impressive and magnificent way at Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel in Takeo Onsen, a peaceful tourist attraction in the Kyushu region. The main exhibition area of ​​teamLab this time is divided into several zones. There are both the hotel building and the forest. I will gradually tell you about each part. Let's start with the journey. The closest major city that we can take a plane to is Fukuoka. From the big station, Hakata station, take the train to Takeo Onsen station. It takes 70 minutes, then take a bus or taxi for about 5-10 minutes to arrive at the hotel. For those who are not staying, you can buy tickets at the hotel for 1,200 yen. The first highlight on the hotel side is the lobby. ‘Forest and Spiral of Resonating Lamp’, a large lamp installation welcomes you from the first step. The lights will change colors in a cool atmosphere for us to sit and take pictures before walking to see other works in Zones A and B (there is a map when you go). Each work will have a large exhibition room in the main building and continue to the old building zone that looks like an abandoned onsen hotel has been fully renovated. ‘Megaliths in the Bath House Ruins’, a giant sculpture that looks like a pillar planted in the abandoned onsen area, playing with lights and beautiful art patterns. I must say that this piece is very enjoyable to take pictures of. There are so many things for us to see and play with. In addition, there is a walkway in the abandoned building with lights on both sides. There is ‘Living Crystallized Light’, a water mapping plate with light and sound that vibrates and makes sounds when we step on it. ‘Light Sculpture of Flames’, a large cube-shaped work that plays with light like flames swaying in the middle of a dark room. And many more interesting pieces Come to the forest side, the largest area of ​​the event is divided into zones C, D, E, F, gradually opening after sunset. Zone C, which requires the darkest, will open last after 7 pm. And there is a must-see spot, ‘Drawing on water’, which will be a performance on water. There will be a rowboat stopping in the middle of the water before koi fish and lines of light swimming around until they shine for us to see at intervals. There is a tea room in the middle of the forest, mapping flowers onto each teacup. When lifted, the petals will spread out beautifully. There is a cool digital waterfall and many other interesting spots that you can walk around for a long time. (Read more on the event website) For those who like beautiful art and great ideas from artists loved all over the world like teamLab, I must say that this event is a must-see. #AForestWhereGodsLive #teamLab #DigitalArt #TravelJapan #GoWentKorn #Fukuoka #BeautifulPhotoPlaces

Transportation-JR Takeo Station has a free shuttle bus during the night festival Park Background - Mifuneyama Rakuen was built in 1845 in the late Edo period and is located in the mountains west of Mifuneyama in Takeo City. It is said that this Japanese garden was built by Shigeyoshi Nabeshima, the 28th lord of the Takeo domain, over a period of three years. The name "Mifuneyama" comes from the fact that the mountain on which the garden is built resembles a ship from the Tang Dynasty. Mifuneyama Rakuen is a famous tourist attraction in Saga, with a vast park and rich mountain scenery. It is a famous autumn maple viewing spot in Kyushu; the red maple leaves in autumn present a strange and beautiful sight like fire under the illumination of lights at night. The autumn leaves festival held from early November to early December is Japan's largest nighttime light-up event for viewing autumn leaves. Period: End of November (keep an eye on the official Facebook page for real-time updates on the autumn leaves) Time: 8am to 10pm during the night festival (lights turn on at 5:30pm) There were many visitors during the night festival, so it was really hard to take photos. But the red leaves offer a different experience under the projection of special lighting effects. In addition to the maple forest 🍁, there are also ginkgo trees 🍂 #Japan Attractions

If you've been to a teamlab exhibit, you know what to expect. What makes this one special is the location. The park is beautiful with different venues spread everywhere. Some pieces resemble others featured in different locations, e.g. the pound where the carps projections are feels like the one in teamlab Planets in Tsukiji, Tokyo. That said, the location itself gives a different vibe to the pieces. Wear comfortable shoes and be careful when walking around as the place can be quite dark in some places. There are 2 gates and one opens 1 hour later, at 20:00. I would suggest entering earlier so you don't have to rush to see everything.

I went to Mifuneyama Rakuen in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture. I went to see the autumn leaves lit up, but since it was the last day, they were a little withered😭 Even so, the autumn leaves and the trees reflected in the pond were very beautiful✨ I'm glad I was able to enjoy the last of autumn✨ #Saga #Autumn leaves #Maple #Breathtaking view

Mifuneyama Rakuen in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture. I went there in June, and the hydrangeas were in bloom and it was very beautiful! Now that TeamLab is here, it has become a famous spot at night, but the fresh greenery makes you feel refreshed even during the day. The garden is a bit steep, so I recommend that you go in good physical condition! #breathtakingview #autumnfoliage #maple #mountainclimbing

Hidden Gems & Ancient Wonders in Takeo 🌳🌸✨ Experience the magic of Takeo by discovering its legendary camphor tree, playful pottery hunts, and lush gardens! Start your adventure at Takeo no Okusu, an awe-inspiring camphor tree believed to be over 3,000 years old. The towering presence makes an insta-worthy backdrop—try capturing it from a low angle to get the full ancient grandeur. Wander the grounds of Takeo Shrine nearby for a tranquil cultural touch. Next, head to the kouraku kiln. Dive into a unique pottery treasure hunt—look out for hidden pieces scattered around the grounds! It’s a fun, interactive way to connect with local artistry. Don’t forget to snap creative shots with your found treasures; lighting in the kiln works well for close-ups. If you’re keen on buying pottery, check for limited editions exclusive to the site. Round off your day at Mifuneyama Rakuen Garden (4100 Takeocho Oaza Takeo, Takeo, Saga 843-0022). The park dazzles from 08:00–17:30 (day garden) and 17:30–22:00 (illuminated night garden). Stroll beneath seasonal blooms and tranquil ponds, and seek out the reflection bridge for the perfect mirrored shot—especially magical at dusk! At night, the illuminated garden transforms into a fairytale landscape; tripods help with night photography. Tips: Plan around the garden’s dual timings to experience both daylight and nighttime beauty. Wear comfy shoes for all the walking. At the camphor tree/Takeo Shrine, bring bug spray, especially in warm seasons. #Takeo #JapanTravel #HiddenGems #MifuneyamaRakuen #NatureEscape

#September2025 During my trip to Saga, I visited Saga Castle and Mifuneyama Rakuen, experiencing distinct yet equally captivating landscapes. Saga Castle, with its magnificent Honmaru Historical Museum and well-preserved castle walls, evokes a sense of stepping back into the Edo period, offering a deeper understanding of local samurai culture and historical background. Exhibits within the castle also clearly showcase Saga's crucial role in Japan's modernization. Arriving at Mifuneyama Rakuen, a feast of natural beauty unfolds before our eyes. The gardens, nestled into the mountainside, offer a changing landscape each season. The lush greenery creates a tranquil atmosphere that invites you to slow down. This trip, while immersing myself in the richness of history, allows me to experience the tranquility of nature, leaving behind unforgettable memories of Saga.

I could easily spend the whole day relaxing there.

Purpose of the Trip See TeamLab! Eat delicious food! Soak in hot springs! Schedule Day 1 Fly from Haneda Airport to Saga Airport. There are no low-cost carriers or airlines serving the area. ANA operates five flights per day, with a flight time of approximately two hours. There's nothing around Saga Airport. While buses are an option, rental cars are recommended. For flight passengers, there's a 24-hour promotion for 1000 yen for two or more people. (This promotion seems to have been going on for quite some time.) One person pays 2000 yen per car. Two people pay 1000 yen, so even single travelers are cheaper. Rental cars are conveniently located next to the airport. Getting around is easy. First, head to Yutoku Inari Shrine. This shrine is quite large and historic. Then, drive along the coast to see the underwater torii gate of Ouo Shrine. It's beautiful at high tide. Tara Town, where this shrine is located, is a gourmet town famous for its oysters. We tried grilled oysters at an oyster shack. They were delicious, and the location right in front of the ocean was perfect. Then, we drove to Arita. Arita is synonymous with Arita ware. We enjoyed tea and sweets served in beautiful tea utensils at Arita Purcellin Lab. Then, we checked into Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel, home to teamLab. After checking in at the front desk, we were greeted by a fantastic view of the forest of lamps. The hot springs here are also amazing! Rakan no Yu has a sauna, an open-air bath, and is spacious. There's an Italian restaurant on the hotel grounds, so we made a reservation there for dinner. The food, made with local Saga ingredients, and the tableware was beautifully crafted. It's in a different location, about a five-minute walk away. It might be a bit difficult if it's raining. Day 2 We got up early and thoroughly enjoyed teamLab's forest of lamps. Of course, we also took a dip in the hot springs. For breakfast, we had Japanese food at the hotel. The nori seaweed was served in a heated container, and it was incredibly crisp. After checking out, we visited the Takeo Onsen Tower Gate and other attractions, then went to Yobuko to eat squid. I was so happy to eat such fresh squid. They even cooked the tentacles for me. We ate at the Underwater Fish Restaurant Manbo. We drove to Saga Airport and then flew to Tokyo. Photogenic Spots Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel, home to a TeamLab artwork. I recommend staying late at night or early in the morning, as there are fewer guests. Important Notes Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel does not have an elevator. This hotel is not suitable for elderly guests or those with small children, as moving around inside the hotel is difficult. Also, the reception area is dark due to the TeamLab artwork, so elderly guests and those with small children may find the darkness intimidating or uncomfortable. Transportation Public transportation is not very good, so a rental car is necessary for sightseeing. However, if you book in advance, the hotel offers a shuttle service from Takeo Onsen Station. Renting a car from the airport for 1,000 yen a day was a great deal! Recommendations The hot springs are amazing. I recommend Takeo Onsen. Also, the food in Saga is delicious. #JapanTravelGuide

Mifuneyama Rakuen is a famous garden located in Takeo Onsen, Saga Prefecture, which has been around since the Edo period. It is a Japanese-style garden where you can enjoy flowers of all seasons, and is known as one of the best flower spots in Saga and Kyushu. The grandeur of the azaleas in early summer is particularly famous, but the beauty of the autumn leaves is like a picture scroll. Nearby is the Takeo Camphor Tree, which is said to be 3,000 years old. In recent years, it has attracted attention for its collaboration with TeamLab, and a large-scale projection mapping was developed with the theme of "The Forest Where Gods Live." It is truly mysterious and mystical, and you feel as if you have wandered into another dimension. It is very popular, and you often see foreigners in this rural area. It has been held every year for the past few years, but it may not be decided whether to hold it in 2025. The parking lot in front of Mifuneyama Rakuen is small, so if it is full, you will need to park in a temporary parking lot far away. However, there is a free shuttle bus during the season, so don't worry. #tripdomestictravel #breathtakingview #Photogenic spot #TeamLab

#JapanTravel #PlacesToVisitInJapan Mifunesan Paradise was built in 1854 and was a local attraction that took 3 years to complete with the belief that it would be the best garden in Japan at the time, in the villa of the local lord. With the Mifunesan cliffs behind it, in the spring, 5,000 cherry blossom trees and 50,000 azalea trees create a beautiful landscape reminiscent of a landscape painting. In the summer, bamboo lanterns and artificial lights are used to create a beautiful night view. This is a wonderful place that can be visited in all seasons (at night in the summer), and is a course recommended to those traveling here. Location: 4100 Takeocho Oaza Takeo, Takeo, Saga 843-0022

Takefune Mountain Park - Known as Kyushu's most beautiful Japanese garden, it offers different sceneries in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The guide took real shots for us of the spectacular 'Azalea Valley' during the azalea season, with Takefune Mountain as the backdrop, about 200,000 azalea plants bloom, forming a complete carpet of flowers. Yutoku Inari Shrine - Along with Fushimi Inari and Kasama Inari, it is known as one of Japan's three major Inari shrines. The shrine worships the guardian deity of people's basic needs, attracting 3 million worshippers every year, making it extremely popular. During the flower season, azaleas and wisteria also drape the treetops, making it one of Saga's flower viewing spots. Ureshino Onsen - One of Japan's three famous skin-beautifying hot springs, the spring water is rich in sodium, which can soften the skin's keratin, making the skin tender, hence it's called 'Beauty Skin Hot Spring'. Drinking it can also improve the functions of the intestines and liver. Not only 'beauty skin', but it can also make you a 'beauty' from the inside out.

🌿 We went to Mifuneyama Rakuen in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture 🐾 The scenery created by the flowers and trees of each season is fascinating ♪ It has also been certified as a national registered monument! The garden is huge, covering an area of ​​150,000 tsubo (apparently the equivalent of 10 Tokyo Domes, but I wonder how many it would be in Yahoo! Auctions🙄) 🤭✨ And the azaleas with Mifuneyama in the background were amazing 🥺︎💕︎ The moment I saw it, I couldn't help but let out a gasp The colorful azaleas are so beautiful! I can only say it was overwhelming 🥺✨ The fluffy feeling was also cute and it looked like a painting, so I was mesmerized for a while 🤭︎💕︎ The large azalea, estimated to be 200 years old, was in full bloom It was still too early for the 170-year-old wisteria trellis but the wisteria trellis at the entrance was in full bloom 😊 I was able to see TeamLab, the autumn illuminations, and the azaleas, so next time I'd like to see the cherry blossoms ~ ♪ ⚠️ The information is from when I visited, so please check it before you go 🙌 ୨୧┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈Facility information┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈୨୧ [Mifuneyama Rakuen] 🌿Address 4100 Takeo, Takeo-cho, Takeo-shi, Saga Prefecture 🌿Admission fee Adults (junior high school students and above): 700 yen, Elementary school students: 300 yen 🌿Opening hours 8:00-18:30 (subject to change depending on the season) ※Currently not lit up 🌿Parking available ୨୧┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈୨୧ #Mifuneyama Paradise #Mifuneyama Paradise Azalea #Saga Tourism #Saga Azalea #Takeo Tourism #Takeo Azalea #Travel with Me
