KOYASAN -KONGO BUJI-

Nighttime opening of Kongobuji, the ecclesiastic head temple of Koyasan Shingon Buddhism

It gets really cold in the morning and at night these days.
This morning, the temperature in Tottori was 15 degrees C. I was curling up in the bed.
Now, here's some good news.
Kongobuji, the ecclesiastic head temple of Koyasan Shingon Buddhism, is now open for nighttime visitors. At the invitation of Mr. Hiroshi Nagane of Tokyo Design Party, we have offered our Moon lamps to be used for the nighttime lighting of the temple.

This is a limited-time event that runs through October 31.
This is a very rare opportunity. I would like to go and take pictures. (I hope I'll be able to take good ones.)
Why don't you go and enjoy the nighttime lighting at the temple?
