Mifuneyama Rakuen Autumn Leaves Festival

About this event

Held at Mifuneyama Rakuen, a renowned garden located in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture, the "Autumn Leaves Festival" celebrates its 181st autumn. Spanning an expansive 150,000 tsubo (approx. 500,000 m²), the garden captivates visitors with its breathtaking autumn foliage scenery dyed in red, orange, and yellow. In particular, the nighttime section, where approximately 40,000 tsubo of autumn leaves—reputed to be among the largest in Japan—are illuminated, reveals a fantastical scene. Visitors can enjoy vivid autumn foliage during the day and enchanting illuminated foliage at night, savoring the beauty of autumn leaves all day long. The garden is rich in highlights, including a large Japanese maple tree about 170 years old, an arch of maples spreading overhead, and Mirror Pond where the vibrant autumn colors reflect beautifully on the water's surface. During the Autumn Leaves Festival, visitors can also savor tea and zenzai (sweet red bean soup) while gazing at the foliage at the "Haginoo Ochaya" teahouse, specially opened to the public for a limited time.
