Details
The event coincides with the Silver Week in September and the autumn foliage season in November. Kanazawa Castle Park and Kenrokuen Garden will be illuminated to brighten the autumn evenings.

The garden is free to enter during the illumination hours, allowing guests to enjoy the beauty that colors the long autumn nights.
