The Garden of Illuminated Flowers at Ashikaga Flower Park

Consistently ranked one of the best illuminations in the country, the Garden of Illuminated Flowers brings over 5.0 million lights to decorate the sprawling garden with several themed installations scattered throughout. Although outside of Tokyo, it’s worth the trip.

Truly a versatile setting, come by with your friends and family—or don’t be afraid to make it a solo trip—to walk around amid a gorgeous rain of illuminations. Try out the local potato yakisoba noodles or visit the Ashikaga Orihime Shrine.
