Tips & Advice
- Visit during the earlier months (November-January) for longer viewing hours as the event starts earlier in the evening.
- Consider dining at Chef's Terrace for a unique experience, but book in advance as tables with garden views are likely popular.
- Check the hotel's shuttle bus schedule in advance to plan your transportation from Sendai Station, especially if visiting during peak times.
- The special light performance lasts only 5 minutes and occurs every 15 minutes; be sure to be in position to enjoy it fully.
- While the event is free to view from the garden, consider booking a garden-side room for a private, continuous view of the illuminations.
