About Big Yellow
- A Mystical Nightscape: The sight of the massive golden tree glowing in the dark is a once-in-a-lifetime view that is completely different from its daytime appearance.
- A Connection to History: Feel the powerful energy of a sacred tree that has stood for over a millennium.
- Stay Warm: The night air is very cold; bringing a heavy jacket or heat packs (kairo) is the key to a successful visit.
- Plan Your Route: While it is within walking distance from the station, check your route in advance to ensure smooth travel at night.
