Kitano Tenmangu Shrine is the headquarters of all Tenmangu Shrines and Tenjin Shrines in Japan, which enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning. It is famous as a famous place for autumn leaves, but the refreshing beauty of green maple leaves is also exceptional. The "Momiji Garden" in Odoi, a historical site built by Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi, is open to the public even during the green maple season.
This year, from April 29th (Sat) to May 7th (Sun), it will be lit up at night for the first time. With LED lights, you can enjoy a fantastic light production that is a bit different from the daytime.

Kiyomizudera is one of Kyoto's representative temples. In December 2020, the roof was reroofed for the first time in half a century, and the main hall, which is known as the stage of Kiyomizu, has been refurbished. You can enjoy the green maple from various places such as the Niomon Gate and the three-storied pagoda, but the contrast between the main hall and Okunoin, which is known for the stage of Kiyomizu, is a must-see.

The green maple leaves that cover the stone steps of the approach to the shrine, which are lined with Kasuga lanterns, sway in the wind like a roof, and the sunlight filtering through the foliage is pleasant.
