Japan free and easy : Rikugien garden Autumn leaves




Ruikugien GArden Illumiation


The nearest station to Rikugien Garden is Komagome Station of the JR Yamanote Line or the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line. The ticket cost is 300 yen.
The garden is also open in the morning. Some part of the parks are close for the illumiation.
This is one of the most famous for the night illumiation in Tokyo.
There is a queue outside. We took around 20 minutes to get into a compound.
There is a fixed route going in one direction. You can stop at your own pace to take photos and continue the tour by following the tour. It will take less than one hour if you just stroll to enjoy the scenery.  I recommend this as it is different from the autumn leaves I have seen and it is beautiful. This is not a place for group photos as there are too many people. 
I will not recommend this for kids that are very young or elderly with weak legs.There are very little places to rest.
As it is a one way tour, so you can't turn back if they are tired.
As I visited this in 2016, the photos may not be accurate.
The illumination starts from Sundown to 9pm but last entry is 930pm.
This is from November 17 to 9 December 2019
