Murin-an Twilight Garden Party 2019: Special Evening Opening for Autumn Leaf Viewing

Murin-an’s annual illuminated event! This year we held it for three days starting on November 22 (Fri.), and from the very first day we had a tremendous number of visitors who enjoyed looking at the scenery of autumn leaves reflected on the water’s surface.

Whether you took a stroll around the garden after hearing it explained by one of our guides or had a drink while taking in the full view of the garden from the main house’s second floor, we wish to thank you for enjoying the garden’s landscape and the alluring form of scarlet maple leaves hovering quietly over arranged lights, looking so different from autumn leaves in daytime.

Nothing could make us happier than to see this illuminated event and our guides’ explanations of the garden become moments for people to share their memories of Kyoto and the value of cultural property gardens with others they know.
