Nakano Momiji Yama Light Up "Light Fantasy" 2017

Nakano Momiji Yama Light Up "Light Fantasy" 2017
中野もみじ山ライトアップ 光のファンタジー


Nakano Momiji Yama's gorgeous autumn foliage makes the whole mountain look like it is on fire during the day and "moving light" illuminations make it an equally enchanting sight in the evenings.

Of particular note, around the Nakano Momiji Yama Shrine there are 200-year-old maple and fir trees, as well as 500-700-year-old Japanese cedar trees.
