Mifuneyama Rakuen — Attraction in Takeo

I went here Setember 15, 2019. At this time, the azalea bushes were all green, and the sakura flowers were not in bloom. Based on what I read online, there are 2 best times to enjoy the nature side of this park. First is April to May, when the azalea bushes and sakura are blooming. Second is November, when the autumn leaves are vibrant.

Nonetheless, this park is still worth visiting outside these best times, because of the 21 light installations of teamlab.

You have 2 options, the early and the late: The early option: in case your accommodation is in Fukuoka, this option is ideal. If you want to avoid the unbelievably long lines, make sure to go there earlier than 6pm. Majority of the attractions can only be appreciated at night time, which is a bit before 7pm. While waiting, you can enjoy the indoor attractions, personally the best highlight of the attraction, one of which I posted here (18 or 19, can't remember exactly) You have to enter through entrance #1 if you choose this option, as you can see on the map. Then, by 7:10pm, attractions 1,2,3 will open their lights and you can go south to see them. If you choose this option, you might be a little disappointed because 1,2,3 are kind of underwhelming. Nonetheless, this is ideal if you want less walking, because the taxi stand and bus stop is at entrance #2. Last bus departs at 8:35pm

The late option: entrance #2 is open by 7:10pm. This option is ideal if you want a build up of enjoyment until the "climax" which is seeing the indoor attractions at the end. However, I believe you have to go back to entrance #2 to call a taxi, as I didn't notice a taxi stand at entrance #1 (I may be...

There are almost no reviews about the team labs part of this hotel. I’m here to change that. This destination was on my want to go ever since I went to TeamLabs PLANETS in Tokyo. We walked into the hotel and were blown away by the stunning art pieces. We enjoyed delicious complimentary welcome drinks under the lanterns. Then, we began to explore the art pieces in the ruined parts of the hotel. Many don’t understand that the ruined parts of the hotel are not under construction, they are remnants of an old onsen that was operational in the 60s and the 70s. It’s not under construction, it was internationally left to ruin. That’s why the teamlabs art pieces play with that, leaving an interesting vibe, new art pieces interacting with the old ruins. This made for an otherworldly, albeit beautiful vibe, reminiscent of a post apocalyptic kind of feeling. The onsen itself was spectacular. It was absolutely stunning, with fireplace rooms with snacks, multiple hot pools and cold plunge pools, and various steam rooms and saunas. You are missing out if you go. The architecture is Scandinavian inspired, with beautiful, big windows in an open garden. And finally, the teamlabs park itself: we went at night, and the details were stunning. I was transported to another world, where azalea bushes glowed like ocean waves, and where digital koi swam in...

this place is difficult to get to without a car so you need to get a taxi from the train station. i got the sauna + teamlab combo ticket. sadly their exhibit here is very underwhelming compared to the other ones like in tokyo. the indoor exhibit inside the hotel was few and far in between. half of the showcases were tucked in the far corner of the hotel building in an under construction area so it was a mess and dirty walking between the three showrooms… as for the outdoor park showcase…there’s not much to see until it gets dark then you can see the different lights and a couple installations scattered here and there. the signs to file the path are not that clear and when it’s dark, everything is so hard to see and navigate… i was very very disappointed overall visiting here and the tickets were expensive too. the sauna inside the hotel was nice but small…for the effort and the price i don’t think it’s worth coming all the way here just to visit this place. especially without the flowers blooming, this park is pretty average with...
