Had a great experience! The van ride was smooth. The driver will drop you off and pick you up at the said locations. Having a private transport is very convenient since going from the outlet park to nabana no sato will be quite a long walk. There is enough time to shop at the outlet park and it is quite relaxing at the illuminations. It was quite crowded at the start of the illuminations since a lot of people line up waiting for the lights to go up at the tunnel of light. Better go directly at the tunnel of light after entering the park to catch a good view of the tunnel of light. The begonia garden was also beautiful and a great place to relax. They also have lights and sounds show in the park.
