Why You Should Visit

An autumn evening event at Keihanna Commemorative Park in Seika, southern Kyoto Prefecture, where the maples of Suikeien, the park's Japanese garden, are lit up after dark. In 2026 it runs on Fridays, weekends and holidays from Tuesday 3 November (a public holiday) to Sunday 29 November. The garden is laid out with maples and small waterfalls; at night the falls are stopped so the pond turns into a mirror, reflecting the red leaves on its still surface. No booking is needed — just the regular garden admission. A calmer alternative to the crowded spots in central Kyoto for seeing autumn leaves at night.
