Last Saturday night, I had a wonderful time at Okuyama Houkouji Temple in Hamamatsu. The temple looked so magical with autumn colors at night.
When I arrived, I saw the temple buildings with trees still full of green leaves, but some already turned red, orange, and yellow. Some lanterns and lights made the leaves glow. It felt like I was in a fairy tale.
I walked through the paths and heard the leaves rustling and other visitors talking softly. Every step showed me new beautiful views of the temple and the trees.
In autumn, Okuyama Houkouji Temple becomes a magical place. From late November to early December, the temple has a special Light-Up Event. Beautiful lanterns light up the temple grounds, making the colorful autumn leaves even more beautiful.
Okuyama Houkouji Temple is in the quiet countryside of Hamamatsu. It has a long history, going back to the Edo period. The temple has lovely gardens and old buildings. During the Light-Up Event, the temple feels even more peaceful and special.
The Houkouji Temple Light-Up Event is a perfect way to enjoy autumn. It's a great trip for families, friends, or even just by yourself. You can relax and enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves. Make sure to bring your camera to take pictures!
Before leaving, we visited a small shop at the temple where they sold beautiful souvenirs like handmade crafts and keychains. I also tried momikuji, a fun fortune-telling activity where a machine with a female priest doll brings you a fortune slip. It added a playful and interesting end to my visit.
As I left the temple, I felt very thankful for the beautiful experience. The Okuyama Houkouji Temple Autumn Night was nice to see and good for my heart.
If you are in Hamamatsu in autumn, you should visit Okuyama Houkouji Temple at night. The lights and the autumn leaves will give you wonderful memories.
