Why You Should Visit
Kikyo no Sato, a bellflower garden in Kameoka's Miyamae area, turns into an illuminated night garden each winter. A 5-metre Christmas tree lights up the entrance, a 100-metre path is lined with painted lanterns, and a garden of light shaped like bellflowers glows at the far end, with each zone styled differently. The collaboration illumination with Heian Jogakuin is in its fourth year, there is an angel-wings photo spot, and pets are welcome. A good choice if you want a quieter winter evening a short trip out from central Kyoto.
