From Takeo Onsen station, exit at entrance B and took the bus to Ureshino. Get off at Mifuneyama Rakuen and walked up the road until you see the ticket booth inside the souvenir shop and the vendors selling chestnuts and glutinous red-bean cake. We bought a combo ticket at 900 yen (day/night ticket at 600 yen each) which allowed us to stay from day till night. Despite early December was a bit late for the autumn foliage, there were still sights of red maples and yellow gingko along the way. The walk up the hill was clean, well maintained with clear signages - good enough for young children and physically fit elderly to enjoy hiking in such poetic atmosphere. We visited the various sightseeing points such as 500 Lohan (monks) cave and hanami pavilion at ease. Night time was another episode - the sky went pretty dark after six and the place was lit up. Illumination at the lake was marvellous like a Chinese painting. Despite many tourists around, we were still able to enjoy close-up of maple leaves under the spotlight. The walkway up the hill was not totally visible in the dark and children/elderly might not be suitable. An enjoyable walk with the family in the fall embellished with autumn foliage.
