I went there a year ago but I want to write a review since it’s a really nice place. You can walk around the temple and see mountains. It’s a bit pricey because there are many places to see autumn leaves for free in gunma. But leaves reflected on the shiny floor is very instagramable. I couldn’t go there this year unfortunately but I hope I can visit there again next year.

Not a first time visitor of Hotokuji but it was a first time to see everything light up on a chilly autumn evening. Absolutely beautiful and highly recommend this temple.

Good place for photography. You can visit by bus. If you are coming by car, It is a 3 to 4-minute walk from the parking. There was enough space for the parking. Anyway, there were 2nd parking spaces also but a little bit ahead. Parking was free.

Beautiful place with several themed festivals that are worth a visit. I went for the wind chime festival. It was hot but a refreshing wind blew all the time. There's a little building to buy things that's air conditioned and in front was a big ventilator. There's a small parking lot down the road to the temple. I think there are more lots in the area.
