The experience

The park operates three separate entry windows across the evening: 6:30–6:55pm, 7:20–7:45pm, or 8:00–8:30pm. Each slot is followed by a show time, so you pick the window that fits your schedule in Sendai. The timetable is fixed, so book the slot that works for your evening plans.

You take a lantern in hand and wander through pathways designed as a night-time fantasy world. The park fills with light installations and immersive elements that shift the ordinary landscape into something built for the dark hours. The walk itself is the experience: no separate attractions or stops, just the journey through the glowing space at your own pace within the entry window.

The park sits within Sendai and is accessible by public transportation. Entrance includes the lantern and access to all pathways. You walk for the duration of your entry slot and the show that follows. Strollers and prams are permitted, and service animals are welcome.
