CONCEPT STORY
The Temple of the Moon, which appears only at night after the sun sets
To a fantasy night where the phoenix descends
As night falls, the mysterious moonlight illuminates the surroundings. Guided by this pale light, sea turtles quietly come to Meijo Beach to lay their eggs. After completing the monumental task of laying their eggs, the sea turtles casually appear by the pool.
As you walk along the poolside under the moonlight, where a delicate path of light stretches out, you happen to come across a sea turtle and its friends. Following their invitation, you find yourself greeted by the shining temple of Ryukyu Castle. A phoenix with its flaming wings spreads down, and a magical night begins. In this place where the legendary tale becomes reality, a fantastical show unfolds, blending light, music, and flames. Then, a world of wonder illuminations, where stars and butterflies dance, takes you into a magical world. On a mystical night enveloped in dreamlike light, "Moonlit Wonder Illumination 2025-2026" will invite you into a magical world...
