From the end of October to the beginning of November, more than 6,500 candles
illuminate
Samuel Cocking Garden on the top of Enoshima Island.
"Shonan Candle" autumn illumination is held for the last event
of "Eno fes" a series of various autumn events held for about
2 months in Enoshima Island.
This event is not as known as the illumination event of other seasons,
so you can enjoy and look around slowly because there are relatively few
visitors.
In the entrance of the garden, candles put in numerous colorful bottles
are lined up on the ground and make beautiful patterns emerge in the darkness
of the night.
Also in the rose garden, white candles are placed in some places and faintly
illuminate the rose flowers that are in the flowering season.
Along the path inside the garden, various shells and driftwoods collected
in the nearby sea are lined up and illuminated by the light of the candle.
Some candles put in larger lamps in the area.
Candles are also lined up among the trees in the tropical botanical garden
creating a different atmosphere from usual times.
Numerous small bottles with candles are also lined up at the foot and around
the Sea Candle observation tower to produce a collaboration of light only
during the event.
Various colors candles and single color of candles are placed for each
square, and the surroundings of the tower are colored with soft light.
