To celebrate the beautiful colors of autumn, Chiba's Mihara-en Garden will host a seasonal light-up event from November 16th until November 24th. The event will include illuminated trees, lanterns, and umbrellas, along with koto and violin music performances, and even the opportunity to partake in a tea ceremony experience.

The evening illuminations take place from 5:30 pm until 7:30 pm on weekdays, and from 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays – however, the garden is recommended for viewing during the day, too! Admission to the garden is available until 30 minutes before closing.
