About the event
This Tofukuji subtemple opens its usually restricted garden for autumn viewing. Maple colour sits above moss and carefully arranged stones, creating a different view from the large temple’s main attractions. Visitors already inside may remain as the lighting begins; there is no daytime-to-evening exchange.
