Plum Garden's autumn lantern event runs from 17 September to 18 October and draws its theme from The Classic of Mountains and Seas. More than 20 large lantern installations are spread through the garden, with performers in mythical-creature costumes following set routes for close-up encounters and photographs. The evening programme also includes aerial acrobatics, fire performance and meteor juggling.
Night admission runs from 17:00 to 21:00, with last entry at 20:30. The official listing gives a price of ¥60 per session and says daytime and nighttime tickets are sold separately. Concerts and fireworks are planned on selected holiday evenings, but exact dates are not listed, so confirm the live programme with Plum Garden before travelling for a specific performance.
