Activity

Muroji Temple, an ancient temple in Nara, adorned with beautiful autumn foliage

Murouji Temple, also known as Women's Koyasan, was built about 1,400 years ago and was once a temple where women were free to visit, as opposed to Koyasan, where women had limited access. It is also a popular spot for viewing Nara's unexplored autumn foliage.

In addition to the main hall, you can take a special nighttime tour, guided by a monk, of the temple grounds, which are lined with national treasures such as the Kondo Hall and the five-story pagoda.

Tour participants will be guided to places that are normally closed to the public, such as the Kondo Hall.

A dedicated guide will provide the tour

Enjoy a guided tour with simultaneous interpretation.

You can also enjoy the illuminated autumn leaves within the temple grounds

The Autumn Foliage Festival is being held in the precincts from November 2 to December 1! You can enjoy the illuminated autumn leaves.
