It was even more enjoyable than I imagined! The spaces, utilizing mirrors, light, and video, continued one after another, making you feel like you were immersed in a different world just by walking around. I was particularly impressed by the exhibits that made the space appear to stretch on endlessly using mirrors, the works where flowers spread across the entire area, and the spaces that shone like jewels. The scenery changes depending on where and from which you view it, so taking photos is also fun. In person, the scale and immersion are even greater than what you see in photos or videos. Adults can thoroughly enjoy it, and there are many places where you can take photos together, making it a great memory of our Kyoto trip. However, some of the popular exhibits were crowded, making it difficult to take photos at your leisure. Even with that in mind, it was a place I was glad I went to. It offers a completely different experience from visiting Kyoto's temples and shrines, so I recommend including it in your travel itinerary.
