Autumn in Kyoto is a stunningly beautiful season, celebrated for its vibrant display of red, orange, and yellow foliage. From late October to early December, the city’s temples, shrines, and gardens are transformed into a picturesque canvas of fall colors. With pleasant weather and special events, including illuminated night views and seasonal festivals, Kyoto offers a unique and enchanting experience during this time of year.
In the fall of 2024, Kyoto will host the NAKED GARDEN ONE KYOTO art project created by the creative company NAKED, INC., which will run from September 14 to December 8. This unique event will spread across nine locations in Kyoto, each offering a distinct fusion of NAKED’s digital art with traditional Japanese culture.
Visitors will enjoy different cultural themes at each location. Nijo Castle will showcase traditional Japanese food, while Nishi Honganji will offer performances of Gagaku, an ancient court music. Higashi Honganji will feature Noh theater, Ikebana (flower arranging), and Kyoto’s famous cuisine. At Hieizan Enryakuji, you can admire traditional Japanese candles.
In addition, the event will also include autumn-themed activities at renowned Kyoto locations known for their stunning maple leaves, such as Kitano Tenmangu, Kurodani Kinkai Komyoji, and Ninna-ji. To complement these experiences, Kyoto Tower will be illuminated in red, reflecting the vibrant theme of the autumn garden.

From Barcelona to Tokyo. Coffee & Adventure lover🌏☕️
I started to like Japan because of the anime, music and doramas, but after my first trip to the country I found what I love the most: traveling around, the culture and history. I have travelled a lot in Japan, but I still have many places to discover that I want to share with you🙋🏼♀️ Let’s discover Japan together!
Also, as a foreigner living in Japan for over 6 years I understand what kind of things are difficult when you move here and I want to help other people in the same situation that I have in the past.
