Autumn colors at Hoshoji Temple in Kiyokawamachi, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture, Kyushu. This little-known spot lets you enjoy the fall foliage at a relaxed pace during the daytime. Each year, the local community lights up the temple for about a week. At night, the illuminated leaves and their reflections create a beautiful scene. The gradient from green to red is stunning, inviting you to lose track of time as you watch. Location: Hoshoji Temple (1639 Udaeda, Kiyokawamachi, Bungoono City) Parking: Available About Hoshoji Temple Hoshoji is an esteemed ancient temple with more than 800 years of history. Nicknamed “Colorful Hoshoji” and “Hoshoji in Autumn,” it bursts into vivid hues during the fall. During the event period, the light-up adds a dreamlike atmosphere that captivates visitors.

Rokkanon-Miike Pond is a cobalt-blue volcanic lake in Kirishima, said to be the most beautiful there. The trees reflected on the water looked like they were on fire, creating an indescribable beauty. In the third year of Tentoku, a monk named Seisho (Shoku) visited to train. While reciting the Lotus Sutra by the shore, a white-haired old man appeared and said, "I am Yamato Takeru, and I live on this mountain as a swan." Seisho carved six Kannon statues and built a shrine by the pond to enshrine them. When he turned around, there stood the white-haired old man…!!! Photographed in Ebino City, Miyazaki Prefecture.

Autumn leaves in Gokasecho🍁 The autumn colors in Gokasecho have suddenly deepened over the past few days🍁 The foliage in front of Shirataki Falls in Kuraoka District is not fully colored yet, but overall the area is at peak color✨ I also visited Myoken Shrine and other spots in Kuraoka District; the maples there still need a bit more time to peak💡 Some areas will continue to change color, but how about a drive to see Gokase’s autumn leaves this weekend?😊 ⚠Notice⚠ The road to Shirataki is a forest road with poor conditions. There is little space for cars to pass. We do not recommend driving if you lack confidence, are in a large vehicle, or are driving a low-clearance car.
