About the event
NAKED’s seasonal programme uses Higashi Honganji and its detached garden, Shoseien, as two distinct night destinations near Kyoto Station. Plan around their different closing times. On November 6–8 and 25 the temple portion is unavailable, but Shoseien remains open; do not expect both venues on those evenings.
