About this event

A light-and-mist show seen only on winter nights around the pond in a hotel garden. The "Forest Aurora" appears three times each evening for about 7 minutes, and in between, the "Tokyo Unkai - Yakumo" night effect creates a sea of clouds with mist. If you time it right, you can see both the aurora and the cloud sea in one night. Kyochika recommends catching the 20:40 aurora and then the 21:10 cloud sea.
