Traveler note

Candle-shaped and star-inspired LED lights illuminate the garden in Kami, outside Sendai. Check the seven maintenance closures and current operation notices before travelling; the period is not a promise of nightly opening. On-site ticket machines begin sales at 16:40 and accept cash, credit cards and electronic money, while the night programme opens at 17:30. The official page also links online ticket options; no discount or live availability is promised here. Check any applicable admission conditions with the garden. The accompanying image is a June 2025 daytime venue archive, not the 2026 light installation or current flowers and foliage.
