The Edo-Tokyo Architectural Museum and Garden stands as a living testament to the city's rich history and architectural heritage, and the venue hosts a number of different events throughout the year. A beautiful one this autumn sees the museum grounds open after dark for two nights only, with a number of historical buildings and trees illuminated with warm lights.
Along with the illuminations and stunning autumn foliage to enjoy, the event will also include a variety of food trucks, paper lantern making workshops, and candle displays.
Reservations for the event are recommended, with ticketing information available on the official website here. Please also note that in the case of inclement weather, the illuminations may be cancelled.
