Cosplay Shooting 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.

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 pool 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.

Pool zone for entering：The house of Mr.hermit crab、The beach of "Joyamare"（only shallow）

Time: PM 11:00 ~ AM 4:00/ Day+1

*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 pool zone stated above.

⑥　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 also possible to take photos in the "day segment".

Time: ~ AM 4:00 / Day+1

　

　

⑦　New Illumination Area 【Only at Night time】

⑧　Flower Lagoon【Day／Night】

　

　

In the "Flower Lagoon", 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.

Day segment: AM 10:00 ~ PM 9:00

Night segment: PM 10:00 ~ AM 4:00 / Day+1
