Fuukoue at Nyoirinji: Three Nights of Autumn Lights in Ogori

Updated: October 29, 2026

Ogori’s Frog Temple will light up for Fuukoue (楓光会), November 1–3, 2026. Held annually at Nyoirinji Temple (如意輪寺), the event brings soft lighting to autumn leaves, bamboo lanterns, Japanese umbrellas and paper balloons across the temple grounds.

The dates are confirmed, but the announcement does not give lighting hours or admission fees. Check those details before setting your arrival time—especially if you are making a trip specifically for the evening display.

Fuukoue dates and venue

What to expect from the illuminated grounds

The appeal is the combination of foliage and smaller decorative details. Bamboo lanterns, Japanese umbrellas and paper balloons will be illuminated alongside the changing leaves, giving the temple grounds a different atmosphere after dark.

Although Fuukoue is an annual event, the announcement does not describe current leaf conditions or predict peak autumn color. Treat these as confirmed event dates, rather than a guarantee that the foliage will be at its best.

Other autumn foliage spots in Ogori

Ogori City also lists the following places for autumn foliage. They offer ideas for a separate daytime walk, but only Nyoirinji is identified as the Fuukoue venue. The announcement does not say that the other locations will have evening illuminations.

No peak viewing dates or current foliage reports are provided for these locations. Check conditions before deciding which stops to include.

Planning your visit

Start by confirming the lighting schedule, admission arrangements and whether reservations are needed. Transport directions, parking information and rain policies are also absent from the announcement, so avoid building an itinerary around assumed opening times or parking availability.

If this visit is part of a wider Kyushu trip, our guide to JAL’s Kyushu flight-and-hotel promotion is a separate planning resource; check its booking and travel periods before relying on it.

For a longer day out using your phone for maps and photos, you can also read our d VALUE PASS and ChargeSPOT guide. Rental availability near the temple is not confirmed here. If you are comparing other paid outings, see our Asoview campaign guide for its own participating attractions and conditions; this announcement does not identify Fuukoue as a participating event.

For the event itself, consult the original announcement from Ogori City and the Ogori Tourism Association website.
