Kodai-ji Temple is associated with Nene, the wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. During the spring night-time visit, a vivid light picture is projected onto the Hojo garden.

From mid-March to early May each year, Kodai-ji temple‘s stages are lit up with special illumination at night.  Its beautiful gardens and weeping cherry trees create magical atmosphere.
