teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka

This guide to teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka opens inside Nagai Botanical Garden, a living park growing 1,200 plant species since 1974, home to owls and goshawks that hunt after dark. It traces how the art collective teamLab turned the grounds into a nighttime installation in 2022, using sensors that read real wind, rain, footsteps and bird flight into shifting light and sound. Walk on past the eucalyptus trees strung with egg-shaped lanterns near the lake, where the herons still fly at dusk.
