Japan's amazing Nabana no Sato winter light show

Posted: 23 Dec 2012 11:30 PM PST

Dubbed the best annual light show in Japan, the Nabana no Sato botanical garden has sprouted 7 million LED lights this winter.

The theme of this year's display is nature. The tunnels of millions of LED lights encased in flower-shaped bulbs create amazing natural scenes, such as Mount Fuji at dawn and a rainbow across the sky.

A large area of the park is powered by solar panels.
