Nariai-ji Temple Autumn Foliage Festival Illumination

About this event

This autumn foliage illumination event takes place at Nariai-ji Temple, an ancient temple overlooking Amanohashidate, one of Japan's Three Scenic Views. This year features even more special programs than before, including an enchanting illumination of the Bottomless Pond (Sokonashi no Ike), an Autumn Foliage Saito Goma Fire Ritual praying for sound health and fulfilled wishes, and a dedicatory live performance on the wako (traditional Japanese erhu). Visitors can fully appreciate the beautiful world of autumn leaves displaying different expressions between day and night. During the event period, the cable car and shuttle bus heading to Nariai-ji can be used free of charge. In addition, a special night ferry connecting Miyazu Pier and Ichinomiya Pier will operate exclusively on November 14. The magical scenery of the illuminated autumn leaves, five-story pagoda, and main hall is truly breathtaking.
