Kojaku-ji
Kojaku-ji is an old and historical temple founded in 1427. Japanese cedars and maple trees are on the approach. The chief priest around the year of 1634 planted trees one by one, which was a trigger for Korankei to become a famous sight of maple trees. The locals call him "Originator of Maple."

Magnificent View in Fall: Autumn Leaves
The history of Korankei's maple trees goes back to the year of 1634. The temple master of Kojaku-ji at that time started to plant maple trees and Japanese cedars on the temple approach, following which the residents have long conserved the trees that now count to 4,000 trees. They have nighttime light-up, which attracts many people to see the fantastic view.
