Marvel at the wonderful autumn scenery at Konkai Komyoji Temple lit up beautifully at night while listening to a Japanese music performance. Make sure to check-out the famous Afro Jizo Buddha statue for an unforgettable experience in Kyoto!

I was a bit late, but the guide's explanations were too fast, so only the people in front received support. The visibility was poor, making it difficult to understand what was being explained, which was frustrating and unpleasant.少し時間に遅れたのですが、ガイドの説明が早すぎて前方の人しか サポートされず時間的に視認性も悪いため何の説明をしているのか わからないことが多く不満・不愉快だった。

It was great to be able to enter areas that are usually off-limits and to listen to explanations. Since we heard from the gardener about the illuminated garden, it was nice to know how to appreciate it. The autumn leaves were at just the right time and very beautiful. It was fun to search for the hidden turtles.普段は入れないところも入れて説明もききながらだったので色々聞けてよかったです。ライトアップされた庭も庭師の方の説明を聞いてからだったのでどんな感じでみたらいいのか分かり良かったです。紅葉もちょうどいい時期でとてもきれいでした。かくれ亀さん達を探すのが楽しかったです。

The quiet illumination is elegant with the sound of the koto.

The path in the garden isn't very wide, so when there are a lot of people, it can become blocked. Since I opted for the premium option, I was able to enjoy it comfortably, which was great.お庭の通路あまり広くないので、たくさん人がみえると、とうせんぼになってしまう。プレミアムにしたのでゆったり鑑賞出来、良かったです。

I arrived a little earlier than the start time, but I was kindly allowed to enter. The garden's lighting and the sound of the flute resonating throughout the grounds were wonderful!開始時間より少し早く着きましたが、感じよく中に入れて頂きました。 そして、庭園のライトアップ、境内に響き渡る笛の音色が素敵でした！

For 1,000 yen, I was able to enjoy the illuminated night viewing and live performance, which was a very good deal. However, I was concerned that the seating for the live performance was quite crowded.1000円でライトアップの夜間拝観と生演奏を聴くことができて、とてもお得なプランでした。ただ、生演奏の観覧席がとても蜜だったことが気になりました。

It was great to enter earlier than the general reception and listen to the explanations about the temple and the garden from the gardener. It was very different from just sightseeing. They also recommended great spots for taking photos, and I was able to take beautiful pictures, which made me very satisfied!一般の受付より早く入って、お寺の説明や、庭師さんによる庭の説明 を聞き、ただ見学するのとは違ってとても良かった。 写真を撮るオススメ場所も教えて貰えて、綺麗な写真も撮れて大満足！

I visited for the first time. I don't think it was a busy time, but I was able to enter early and receive various explanations, which was very nice. There was a live shamisen performance, and it was neither too long nor too short, so I enjoyed it at a good pace. Above all, the temple staff were very kind; they prepared chairs for my parents, who have difficulty walking, and offered us assistance, which I really appreciated. The garden was also enchanting and beautiful.初めて伺いました。 混雑する時期ではなかったと思いますが、早めに入れて色々と説明を聞くことも出来、とても良かったです。 三味線の生演奏がありましたが、長過ぎず、短すぎず、良い時間配分で楽しめました。なにより，お寺の方が皆親切で、足の悪い両親のために椅子を用意して下さったり、声をかけて下さったり、有り難かったです。お庭も幻想的で素敵でした。

For a late autumn night in Kyoto, it wasn't too cold, and the beautiful sound of the koto filled the air under the moonlight. The autumn leaves were nearing the end of their season, but they looked perfect when illuminated by the lights.京都の晩秋にしては、寒くない夜で、月明かりの中、素敵なお琴の音色。紅葉は終わりに近かったですが、ライトアップで見るならバッチリでした。

It was really great! ♡♡ 東寺のライトアップと迷いましたが、こちらを選んで大正解でした。神秘的な静けさの中のライトアップ、お琴とフルートのコンサート 素敵なお庭の前での、素晴らしい演奏 感激でした。琴の音色が本当に美しく日本の誇るべき楽器の魅力にうっとりでした。 庭園のライトアップ歯、大きな池に映るもみじが映り込み幻想的でした。ほんとうによかったです♡♡

The autumn leaves are illuminated in the garden of the temple associated with Ai Zuban.

Kinkaku-ji is a temple associated with the Aizu clan, but it is not very well-known as a tourist destination in Kyoto. However, the architecture is magnificent, and the strolling garden is beautiful, especially with the autumn leaves illuminated. The temple's history seems to be ancient, but the buildings themselves appear to have been reconstructed, so they are not that old. Nevertheless, they still possess grandeur and a sense of weightiness, making them impressive.金戒光明寺は会津藩ゆかりの寺院ですが、京都の観光地としてはそれほど知名度は高くありませんが、伽藍は壮大で回遊式庭園も美しく紅葉もライトアップに映えました。寺院の歴史は古いようですが、建物自体は再建されたようでそんなに古くはありませんが、それでも荘厳さと重厚さを備え立派でした。

It was a temple I hadn't heard much about, but it had impressive architecture. There was also a concert featuring traditional Japanese instruments, and above all, the highlight was the beautiful illumination of the autumn leaves, which was stunning and moving.あまり聞いた事のない寺社でしたが 立派な建造物で、日本古来の楽器による コンサートもあり、何より目的だった 紅葉🍁のライトアップ、綺麗で感動しました。

First Temple's Autumn Leaves Light-Up

I attended on December 7th, and at first, I thought it would be cold at night, but the weather was nice and the autumn leaves at the temple were beautifully illuminated! The guide's explanations were also easy to understand. Additionally, I was very satisfied to hear the koto performance in the main hall. The return bus was smooth, and while the Kiyomizu bus stop was extremely crowded, the Ginkaku-ji area was a hidden gem!12月7日参加、最初、夜で寒いかと思いきやお天気も良く爽やかなお寺の紅葉ライトアップ！がガイドさんの説明もわかりやすかった。又、お琴の演奏も、本堂で聞けて大満足しました。 帰りのバスもスムーズで、清水バス停は激混みで、銀行戒光明寺は穴場スポットでした♪
