The park closes at 21:00.

From 18:00 on Thursday, July 22, a lighting ceremony will be held in conjunction with the Minna no Souto Project, in which bamboo lights will be lit simultaneously in 47 prefectures nationwide. On that day, bamboo lights will be lit at a live jazz concert or a workshop on another day. Admission is 3,000 yen for adults and 2,500 yen for children.
