A long walk (more than 20 mins) around the gate before entering the event. My legs aldy felt painful before enjoying the light shows. There is also much more boring compare with the naked flowers show in Kyoto. Also, the park in night is windy and cold, there is no any rest place set up but many ppl have to sit on the grass directly when they want to rest and see the sakura.  i have to leave ASAP in such a painful and cold situation. I will not recommend this event to the others
