Matsushima Rikyu's Autumn Light Up

Last week, I wrote about this light display I had beheld two weeks previous and been confused by. Now I am no longer confused.

It turns out that the event started on November 5th, a few days after I originally spotted it, and is running through next week. The decagonal pagoda in the center of the space is meant to also be the backdrop for some projected imagery while the space around it is set up with beautiful views including a backdrop of umbrellas, a few shallow pools, and of course many many gorgeously lit Autumn trees. 


If you're in the area, this event takes place just across the street from Matsushima Kaigan station. It ends on the 24th and entrance to the park starts at 4 PM though the lights don't come up until just after sunset at 4:30. The entry price is 1300 yen for adults and 650 yen for junior high and high school students.
