Autumn Foliage of a 400-Year-Old Giant Maple

Breathtaking Beauty! 🍁✨ Introducing the stunning autumn foliage of a 400-year-old giant maple tree at the historic temple "Raizan Sennyoji Daihiouin" in Itoshima!

Located at 626 Raizan, Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture, it’s about an hour’s drive from Fukuoka City. If you’re using public transportation, you’ll need to transfer to a bus from JR Chikuhi Line’s "Chikuzen-Maebaru Station."

Visiting hours are typically from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (last admission at 4:30 PM). During special viewing periods, such as the autumn foliage season, hours may vary, so be sure to check the official website in advance.

The best time to visit is usually from mid to late November during the peak autumn foliage season 🍁! The giant maple tree, ablaze with fiery red hues, is truly a sight to behold. The other trees on the temple grounds also change colors, enveloping the entire area in breathtaking autumn scenery.

During this period, the temple is often illuminated at night, offering a magical atmosphere that’s completely different from the daytime. Why not spend some serene and peaceful moments surrounded by the beautiful autumn leaves? ✨
