About the event
Manpukuji’s night installation pairs light art with its historic halls and Chinese-influenced architecture. The temple opens only on the published dates; there is no nightly run throughout the winter. Visitors can add separately reserved Fucha cuisine or a sencha session, while a paid multilingual audio guide provides another way into the setting.
