[2022] 25 Autumn Leaves Illuminations in Kyoto
Kitano Tenmangu Shrine is the headquarters of approximately 12,000 Tenmangu Shrines and Tenjin Shrines nationwide. Sugawara no Michizane, the enshrined deity, is worshiped as the god of learning.
Michizane was born in the year of the ox and died on the day of the ox. In addition, there are many anecdotes related to cows, such as "a cow decided the graveyard" and "a cow protected Michizane from an assassin". It seems that it was said.
It is said that if you stroke the head of the statue of the so-called "Nadeushi" that can be seen throughout the precincts, it will bring you good luck in your studies. Cows are also depicted on omikuji and ema.
The plum blossoms that decorate the precincts every early spring and that Michizane loved so dearly are also worth seeing. From 2020 to 2021, the plum garden will be refurbished, and a new observatory with a height of 5 to 6 m will be built to overlook the plum blossoms. The plum garden was widened to make it easier to walk, the number of plum trees was increased, and a beach was set up. After admiring the plums, if you get a lucky cow and go home, you will definitely feel refreshed.
Spreading out on the west side of the precincts is the Momiji Garden, which consists of a natural forest and part of the earthwork "Odoi" built by Hideyoshi Toyotomi. About 350 autumn leaves turn red, and the scenery of the Kamiya River, which flows north and south through the park, is dyed red, creating a breathtaking beauty. During the fall foliage season, it is lit up, creating a mysterious and mysterious scenery.
