Rikugien Garden: BEYOND PEAK
December 6, 2016
Rikugien Garden is a beautiful Japanese landscape garden and one that is also a popular autumn color spot. The main viewing spots are in the wooded area near the Somei gate and I found the colors there to be at the end of their peak, with the leaves looking more burnt and starting to fall. Tomorrow, December 7 will be your last chance to see the evening illuminations at Rikugien Garden this year. The garden will be open to 21:00 (entry until 20:30) till tomorrow and until 17:00 from December 8 (entry ends 30 minutes before closing). The Somei Gate, which is a two minute walk from Komagome Station will also be open to the public until tomorrow.
