About this event
This is an autumn event at Hannya-ji Temple, the setting of the Ryugu and Princess Hannya legends, where visitors make a pilgrimage to Buddhist deities while enjoying the autumn foliage on the grounds. In the temple precincts of Hannya-ji, the stage for the "Ryugu Legend" and "Princess Hannya Legend" passed down in the Obatake Strait, Japanese maple and maple trees are planted, turning beautifully into shades of red and yellow as autumn deepens. Held to coincide with the beautiful foliage period, incense is burned throughout the day, amidst which visitors can conduct their pilgrimage to the deities. Why not spend a soothing, peaceful moment at Hannya-ji Temple in autumn?
