Nagaoka's Echigo Hillside Park is a beautiful destination year-round, with a wide variety of flowers and plants to appreciate. A special illumination event this winter will see the park open after dark on select dates (December 16th and 17th, and December 23rd, 24th, and 25th) for their Christmas Candle Night event.
The park's symbolic zelkova tree will be adorned with sparkling lights and surrounded by candles decorated with illustrations or messages from visitors. There is a participation fee of 700 JPY to decorate a candle, in addition to the park's entrance fee of 450 JPY for adults.
