Chion-in temple(知恩院, ちおんいん) with the moon late at night

It's one of the gateways of Chion-in temple(知恩院, ちおんいん). The orange light is shining on the right side. In front of the gateway there is a small river. The name is Shira-kawa river. That is also nice. But at night you can't see the stream X(


I walk up the slope after the gateway. And I watch up the building.


It's almost just a shade. Behind it the moon is shining. I can't watch the moon itself, but can see the halo. I like the humbleness.


And suddenly I found this poster on the wall of a shop across the temple. That said "The illumination will be held on 2th/Nob to 2th/Dec at Chion-in temple".

I'm really lucky!! I will go to watch it, and of course recommend it to guests, If it's amazing!!
