Lunar Stone Maple Park

Maple light up

The Lunar Stone Maple Park, Tsuki no Ishi Momiji park in Japanese, is a garden of maple trees, riverside, in Nagatoro town. The entrance to it is located opposite the Saitama Prefecture Museum of Nature. The park runs alongside the Arakawa and you can see some of the unique rock formations, that Nagatoro is famous for, along the river. The maple trees are beautiful in autumn, but also at this time of year when they are verdant green. Right now, they are lighting the leaves up at night - until June 8th 2024. They light them up in autumn too. There is a box near the entrance where you can deposit a donation of your choice, to help support the light up events.
