At Hoshoji Temple in Kiyokawamachi, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture, the autumn foliage illumination event "Kiyokawa 'Color' Hoshoji Temple in Autumn" will take place.
Hoshoji Temple is an ancient temple with a history of over 800 years. It is said to have been rebuilt due to the prayers of Ōtomo Chikataka, and during the autumn foliage season, the temple grounds are dyed in rich colors, earning the names "Colorful Hoshoji Temple" and "Autumn at Hoshoji Temple."
