Schedule & Ticket Information

Background

“Birds and Bats: The Light-Burning Insect 2026 in Japan” is a science and nature-themed exhibition/event that explores the complex relationship between nocturnal animals—especially birds, bats, and insects—and artificial light. The event highlights how light at night attracts insects (“light-burning insects”), which in turn affects the behavior of predators like bats and birds that depend on them for food. By focusing on this ecological chain, the exhibition brings attention to how modern environments are reshaping natural nighttime ecosystems.

A key theme of the event is the impact of light pollution on wildlife. Artificial lighting can attract and disorient insects, disrupt bird migration, and alter bat feeding patterns, sometimes forcing them to avoid illuminated areas or changing their hunting behavior . Through interactive displays, scientific explanations, and visual storytelling, the event helps audiences understand how these species are interconnected—and why preserving natural darkness is essential for maintaining ecological balance.
