Until December 12th! Autumn Special Opening at Koshoji Temple, Uji

The oldest dojo of the Soto sect of Zen Buddhism out of over 14,000 in Japan

(Entry fee 500 yen)

I went to see the temple in mid-November for the special autumn viewing.

Kosho-ji Temple is lit up at night for the special autumn viewing.

The temple at night has a different charm from the daytime.

The projection mapping was very beautiful.

The special autumn viewing is until December 12th.

Please come and visit.
