About this event
Information on the best time to view autumn leaves at Horikoshi Shakukannon in Katsuragi Town, Wakayama Prefecture. Located in the mountains at an elevation of 650 meters, this prayer temple is also known as a place associated with En no Gyoja, the founder of Shugendo. In autumn, visitors can enjoy the beautiful autumn foliage, including the large ginkgo tree standing within the temple grounds. Tea made from ginkgo leaves and "Ginkgo Candy," known as a remedy for digestive issues, are sometimes served, allowing visitors to enjoy autumn foliage viewing and learn about the temple's history in a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The peak viewing period may vary depending on the climate.
