Fumon-ji Temple "Autumn Foliage Festival" - Toyohashi's Maple Temple

About this event

Known as "Toyohashi's Autumn Foliage Temple," Fumon-ji Temple allows visitors to enjoy beautiful autumn leaves until mid-December, closing out Aichi Prefecture's fall foliage season. Around the Main Hall, Daishido Hall, Bell Tower Gate, and Niomon Gate—designated as National Registered Tangible Cultural Properties built in the Edo period—grow ancient maple trees known as Nishiki Momiji, Choja Momiji, and Nagori Momiji, whose autumn colors are especially renowned. Through the Autumn Foliage Festival, visitors can savor the ever-changing scenery of Fumon-ji Temple, transitioning from green leaves to richly colored Nishiki shades, and finally to the late-season Nagori foliage that wistfully marks the end of the season. During the Autumn Foliage Festival, part of the precinct from the Bell Tower Gate to the Main Hall becomes a paid admission area, offering special public viewings of the outer sanctuary of the Main Hall and Daishido Hall, both National Registered Tangible Cultural Properties. However, because renovation work on the Buddhist Statue Hall is underway as a 1300th-anniversary project of the temple's founding, public viewings of National Important Cultural Property Buddhist statues will not take place. Pets are permitted to stroll within the temple grounds if kept on a short leash, but are not allowed inside the halls.
