Autumn Leaves at Buttsuji Temple in Hiroshima
It is a bit far from city centre. However, its beautiful scenery often gets featured on magazines and TV, and it has many visitors especially at this time of the year. The temple lights it up at night for autumn leaves early to late November. It’s best to get there early evening and enjoy the differences with light-up.

On the way (from parking)
I suggest you get there before evening. You gotta walk a bit from the parking (if driving) but the path to the temple is quite enjoyable.
Buttsuji Temple (before light-up)
Here we come. It’s already beautiful without light-up but to see differences you may want to check it out before the sun goes down.
Buttsuji Temple (with light-up)
As it gets dark, it shows true beauty. I didn’t expect much to autumn leaves but wow, I love this place. Contrast of the leaves, light-up and the lanterns are amazing.
