In November of 2012 I joined a bus tour for a rare opportunity to view the magnificent blue statues in Zao Hall of Kinpusen-ji. Although Yoshino is more famous for cherry blossom, the autumn colors and the blue hills made a beautiful setting for the ancient temple. Zao Hall is the second largest wooden building in Japan, and Kinpusen-ji is listed among the World Heritage sites of Yoshino.

Oh!Stunning . I do not like light-up of autumn leaves.For lighting, the color of autumn leaves original will not appear.I like most is the light of dusk dramatic!
Maybe you can go this autumn, Masayoshi-san. I'm sure you will take amazing photos! There is a light up of momiji at night along the cable car track too, but my night photography is not good.
