In the autumn, Oiso Joyama Park lights up the fall colors of the Japanese maples using spotlights, and lines the park's walkways with candles to guide visitors through a magnificently peaceful and breathtaking garden. During the lighting festival, visitors can get a glimpse into traditional Japan through a rotation of performances including the shamisen and taiko, as well as foods like roasted yam and tonjiru soup.

Autumn at Oiso Joyama Park
Brilliant fall colors lit against the darkness of night

A taiko performance with a long solo added an dramatic air to the colors

Rich fall colors form the backdrop of the park in the autumn

An orange koi fish leisurely floats in the reflection of the Japanese maple leaves

A stream trickles down to the pond below

The nakedness of a tree that has lost its leaves towers over the fall colors

The intensity of the fall colors makes it seem as though the water is on fire
