The already vibrant autumn leaves look even more awesome when drenched in the golden light of the lanterns, and while the temple grounds and torii gate are entrenched in their natural surrounding, they seem to look as if they've appeared from another world in the display. Simple bamboo lanterns providing such a radiant sight is truly breathtaking!
