永観堂の紅葉は、まさに“もみじの永観堂”という名にふさわしい圧巻の美しさでした。昼間は境内全体が赤や橙に染まり、放生池に映る紅葉がまるで絵画のよう。夜のライトアップでは、阿弥陀堂や多宝塔が幻想的に浮かび上がり、静寂の中に紅葉が輝く様子はまるで夢の世界。人の多さを忘れるほど、心が吸い込まれるような時間でした。
Eikando’s autumn foliage is breathtaking—truly worthy of its nickname “Eikando of the maples.” By day, the temple grounds glow with fiery reds and oranges, and the reflection of the leaves in the pond creates a scene straight out of a painting. At night, the illumination transforms the Amida Hall and pagoda into ethereal silhouettes, with the glowing leaves shimmering in the quiet darkness. It’s a dreamlike experience that draws you in and leaves you speechless.
