2024 Special Fall Viewing

In order to avoid crowds, this year's special fall foliage viewing will be arranged by appointment only during the following period.
Warmer temperatures have seen leaves fall slightly earlier than usual, and so it may be that the Carpet of Autumn Leaves begins around the end of November. Thank you for your understanding.
Moreover, information on the autumn leaves at Enkouji Temple is updated on our official Instagram page via our Autumn Leaves News posts.

Special fall foliage viewing for 2024 will be from Saturday, November 9, to Sunday, December 8.

[Hours] 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM

But fall is not the only time to view the leaves.

Although Enkouji Temple is visited by many people from all over Japan when the fall foliage is at its peak, its moving scenery can also be enjoyed in other seasons. For example, in spring, the weeping cherry trees are in full bloom. In summer, the moss and trees shine, fresh and glorious. Try something different from the usual autumnal scenes, and you may discover something new to appreciate.
