One of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, Rikugien holds a light-up event twice every year — once to show the cherry blossoms and again in autumn to display the colours of the beautiful Japanese maple trees. The event starts at sundown and ends at 9pm, taking a fixed route around the garden, but note that there are only a few cherry trees in Rikugien — the most famous being the weeping cherry blossom tree (シダレザクラ) near the entrance.
