Time Out says

Rokko Alpine Botanical Garden is the oldest alpine garden in Japan, first opened in 1933. Set on Mt Rokko, 856 metres above the city of Kobe, the garden cultivates and exhibits over 1,500 species of alpine and cold-region plants.

To celebrate the natural beauty of the area, the park has installed LED light installations that display over 10 million colours and depict the seasonal transitions that Mt Rokko goes through from spring to autumn. Directed by light artist Masayuki Fushimi, the installations highlight the harmony that exists in nature. The current Autumn Leaves Lightscape runs until November 24 and depicts the seasonal foliage of native Japanese trees. Light shows take place from 5pm to 9pm every evening.
