KYOTO - MYOKEN-JI AUTUMN NIGHT ILLUMINATION

Myōken-ji (妙顕寺), a historic Nichiren Buddhist temple in a quiet Kyoto neighborhood, is celebrated for its serene beauty and enchanting night illumination events in both spring and autumn. In autumn, Myōken-ji’s gardens and temple grounds come alive under soft, warm lighting that highlights the vivid red and yellow hues of the season's foliage, as seen in this video. The illumination artfully accentuates temple structures, trees, and pathways, creating a tranquil yet dramatic atmosphere, perfect for quiet reflection and appreciation of nature’s changes. Visitors can stroll through the grounds and along covered corridors to enjoy the temple’s four distinctive gardens: Shikai Shodou no Niwa (Garden of the Four Seas), Korin Kyokusui no Niwa (Garden of Korin’s Watercolor), the Garden of Water (水の庭), and the Bamboo Garden of Hoitsu Kyokusui. This special event offers a unique perspective of the temple, both visually and spiritually, celebrating the beauty of impermanence and the seasonal shifts central to Japanese aesthetics.
