An autumn festival at Asahigaoka Lakeside Green Park in Yamanakako Village, where the autumn leaves are lit up to look even redder. The lights are on from 16:30 to 20:30.
Events are held at a special venue and surrounding facilities to coincide with the roughly 400 to 500 trees in autumn colour on the shore of Lake Kawaguchi. The Momiji Corridor light-up runs from sunset until 21:00.
