Needs to have better translations and marks to make it easier for non-Japanese speakers to understand. The website to follow along was helpful but could be a little confusing. Overall the story was interesting and would recommend to many tourists. Come on weekdays when there are less people.

Event of every good design: safe and natural environment at night, music, graphic. The combination is so fresh with a good local story! I would recommend this to all people. Please read the background of the story before you enter the forest

Extremely magical experience! I am not going to share many photos because I don’t want to spoil you. But you definitely should visit! It’s on the pricey side but I promise it’s worth every cent. They have many advertisement in Akan town (and our hotel) but my partner and I are blind. 💀💀💀 I think it’s cheaper if you buy your tickets early and from your hotel. But we only chanced upon this while taking a night stroll and 15 minutes before the experience, it was 5,000 yen more expensive.

We visited here with our two year old son. He was super excited. I was truly impressed by how the lighting, unique terrain, and local culture were seamlessly combined with high technology. It created a stunning and unforgettable experience.

On Sept 2, 2024, my wife brought me here to experience the night show. Holding stick-like torches with synchronised sound-light effects, it was a new experience. In the dark, the narrative should be done bilingually.
