Buttsu-ji Temple Autumn Special Viewing

About this event

At Buttsu-ji Temple in Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, a special autumn viewing will be held from Saturday, November 7 to Sunday, November 29, 2026. This period provides a precious opportunity to view the Buddha Hall (Butsuden) and Main Hall (Hondo), which are normally closed to the public. Hours are from 8:00 to 17:00, with admission fees of 500 yen for adults and free for university students and younger. Held to coincide with the peak of autumn foliage, traffic restrictions are also scheduled during the period. Furthermore, events scheduled during this time include World Peace Prayer Services, charity calligraphy demonstrations, momiji concerts, Buttsu-ji Mikke (cultural asset commentary sessions), and Otekaki Kannon. The photography exhibition 'Four Seasons of Buttsu-ji' will also be held, showcasing winning entries from the 2025 (Reiwa 7) Spring and Autumn Photo Contest. There are also opportunities to easily experience zazen meditation, held on Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays during the period (participation fee 500 yen, free for university students and younger).
