KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 24 (Bernama) -- The Kyoto Aquarium, located in Umekoji Park, Kyoto City, is hosting the Jellyfish Luminaries event in the Jellyfish Wonders area from January to March 2025.

Running until March 21, this annual event, now in its fifth year, showcases around 60 jellyfish lamps representing 20 different jellyfish species, according to the Kyoto Aquarium in a statement.

A highlight of the event is the Mirror Tunnel, where visitors can admire mesmerising scenery reflected on the mirror walls.

These lamps were crafted by glass artisans from Niigata Prefecture, with designs mimicking the appearance of real jellyfish, under the guidance of the aquarium’s breeding staff.

Jellyfish, known for their photogenic beauty, are symbolic of good fortune, making this event a perfect way to celebrate the Lunar New Year and wish for good luck in the year ahead.
