Over the past years, teamLab’s museums and exhibitions, including teamLab Borderless Tokyo and teamLab Planets Tokyo, became top tourist attractions in the country as they offer a whole new experience of futuristic digital art.
One of teamLab’s permanent exhibitions is located in Osaka, which is an outdoor and nighttime museum. teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka opened in July 2022, inside the botanical garden of Nagai Park, one of the largest parks in Osaka that boasts a space of 240,000sqm.
The venue is open as a botanical garden during the day, filled with seasonal flowers and greens, and transforms into an art space when the sun goes down. It’s divided into 6 areas with a variety of interactive artworks and installations. Since it’s open only at night, it’s a great place to visit after sightseeing in Osaka in daytime.

In 2024 summer, teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka is hosting a special exhibition “Life is Flickering Light Floating in the Dark — Sunflowers”, featuring sunflowers that flourish at the garden. Approx 20,000 sunflowers cover the fields and shine brightly in the dark. When people stand nearby, sunflowers shine brighter and emit a sound, then the glow spreads to the surrounding flowers as the sounds continues to resonate.
This special exhibition is scheduled to be held for about two weeks from 3 to 18 August 2024, only the peak season of sunflower flowering. Pleas note that the exhibition period may change depending on the flowering situation, so it’s recommended to check the official website for the latest information before visiting.
And of course, the sunflowers can be enjoyed in daytime, too, as the botanical garden holds the Sunflower Week during the same period. You can enjoy the spectacular sight of sunflowers blooming cheerfully towards the sun under the blue sky and shining in the darkness at night.
