Bursts of red, orange, and yellow leaves highlight Japan’s autumn. But add in some illumination to really see the fall trees glow.
At the Kamakura Hasedera Temple Autumn Illuminations, experience the beauty of the season.
What happens?
From sunset each day, the temple’s lights will illuminate the canopy of autumn leaves. Wander through the traditional structures, around koi ponds, and under the boughs. The event has no set start time, with the illuminations starting at ‘sunset.’
