Why You Should Visit

An autumn-leaves season at Suma Rikyu Park, timed to the roughly 600 Japanese maples in the botanical garden area. Along the maple path and in the Japanese garden, the reds are joined by the yellows and russets of dawn redwood, bald cypress, katsura and Chinese sweetgum. On weekends and holidays the park stays open until 20:00 for "Suma Rikyu Lumière", with illuminations and lit-up autumn trees around the Fountain Plaza in the main park. Walk the maples in daylight, then cross to the Fountain Plaza after dark — a good weekend evening for anyone who wants both the leaves and the garden at night.
