29th July / Lagu-Cos2017
We have decided to hold "LAGU-COS" this year again!
We've rented out Laguna Ten Bosch for cosplay photo-shooting all-night private event and this year, the 3rd time, our photo spots have leveled up again!
We just can't wait for you to join in!
Are you sure, is this Japan?
Overseas? Western?
No, it is Gamagori City!
Cosplay Photography Spot
① Pirate Blast【Only at Night time】
Set in a cave where it is rumored that pirates used to hide their treasures here. Participants are free to walk around and shoot or film inside the attraction hall where trucks used to come and go! You can transform into an RPG character and have photographs taken. Of course, you may also choose to take photographs in the guise of a monster.
撮影時間：夜の部のみ（22:00〜翌5:00）
② Pool Area【Only at Night time】
The pool area is crowded with cosplayers, and the water surface is shining magically.
This time, it will be more extravagant, making a comeback with light ups! Entering the water is certainly allowed.
You should be able to take wonderful photos with the pool and street of Laguna as the background.
You'll decide how to make use of this great opportunity.
*As the "Fireworks" in the picture above is an attraction in the day segment (8:00 p.m.), you would not be able to view it when the night pool is in operation. We seek your understanding in this matter.
*For safety reasons, it is prohibited to enter the water outside the zone where entering the water is allowed.
③ Fireworks【Only at Day-time】
As you are able to get a view from various areas within LAGUNASIA, you might be able to capture "your own unique "something" + fireworks".
The fireworks is scheduled to launch at 8:00 p.m.
④ Illumination light up spot!【Day／Night】
When we think of LAGUNASIA in the night, naturally we will think of illuminations! From the "grassland of lights" that is like a world tree, to the "rainbow arch", a path of light that extends far beyond, there are photo spots like these scattered everywhere in LAGUNASIA. As the illumination starts around sunset, it is possible to take photos in the "day segment".
⑤ Flower Lagoon【Day／Night】
In the "Flower Lagoon", a newly opened area of LAGUNASIA last year, the flower garden has different effects during the day and night, which makes it a perfect photo spot. When night falls, the beach in the area will shine from the illumination. A beautiful scenery which looks like gems scattered over the surface of the water will unfold.
⑥ Amusement Park attractions【Only at Night time】
Taking photos at the outdoor amusement park attractions are welcome! The first half of the "night segment" will operate as usual. Operations will stop for the later half, allowing guests to take photos of the interior of the attraction at their own pace.
⑦ 3D mapping【Only at Night time】
At Zephyros plaza right after entering LAGUNASIA, 3D mapping will be carried out several times on the day of LAGU-COS! While enjoying the dazzling light show, you might just want to take a photo too.
⑧ Attractions opening just for cosplay photography【Only at Night time】
If there is an amusement park area, this should also be around!

⑨ Ferris Wheel【Day／Night】
Which is of course, the ferris wheel. It will be beautifully lit up in the night, but it will definitely be an attractive background for photos even during the day.
⑩ Thousand Sunny【Day／Night】
Of course, in addition to photo spots, we have prepared other various plans!
