The light autumn leaves that can be seen at Myoshinji Taizo-in in October are the autumn leaves that have begun to turn pale with greenery, and you can feel the quiet feeling of deepening autumn. “Hoshinoya Kyoto” will hold “Moon Night Light Autumn Leaves Hunting” from October 1st to 31st, 2021 on autumn nights when the moon is particularly beautiful.
Yokoen of Myoshinji Temple is a pond strolling garden built around a large pond, and is also called the famous Showa garden (*1). In autumn, you can see the beautiful scenery illuminated by the moonlight, such as the colored leaves and the pond where they are reflected.

While looking out at the garden, you can taste the vegetarian cuisine prepared for this activity by the vegetarian restaurant “Ajiro”, which is a cooking method of Myoshinji Temple.
It is a dish that you can feel autumn with your eyes and tongue, such as white dressing with grilled apples and a dish that expresses chestnuts. Enjoy the unique taste of autumn while gazing at the moon floating in the clear sky and the fantastic garden illuminated by the moonlight.
In the normally closed Kakure tea room, you can enjoy the behavior of matcha by the deputy chief priest and his wife. The Kakure Tea Room is a tea room designed so that it cannot be recognized from the outside, and was created when the tea ceremony was prohibited at Myoshinji Temple because it hindered training.
By listening to the preaching while tasting matcha in a quiet tea room illuminated by the soft light of the lanterns, you will be able to look back at yourself and sharpen your mind.
