Good to know
- Most illuminations switch on around dusk; the blue hour just after sunset is the best time for photos.
- Weekends right before Christmas get very crowded, so weekday evenings are more relaxed.
- Yomiuriland and Sagamiko charge admission, and evenings in the hills get cold, so dress warmly.
