From November 7, 2026 to February 28, 2027, THE LIVING GARDEN, the guest-only garden area of Phoenix Seagaia Ocean Tower, is hosting the winter illumination "Starlight Winter – A Front-Row Seat to Stars and Light (星と光の特等席)." Phoenix Seagaia Ocean Tower is the flagship hotel of Phoenix Seagaia Resort in Miyazaki City.
THE LIVING GARDEN has expanded its light displays over the years, adding a large snow globe, a crescent moon object, and photo spots. This year, "Moonlit Walk" makes its debut, themed on a promenade lit by moonlight. Light objects inspired by the moon gently illuminate the garden, making the winter illumination even more elaborate.
During the Christmas season, fireworks and limited-time dinner courses add to the winter atmosphere at Seagaia.
