Note: The 2023 installment of this event has already taken place.
Tenku Autumn Leaves Festival takes place on the 929-meter-high Mt. Mitake, where autumn arrives earlier than in central Tokyo. The lower temperatures also mean more vibrant autumn hues, which spring up around the streams and waterfalls, and entertain hikers following the mountain's weaving trails. In celebration of autumn, the Tenku—"heavenly skies"—festival features events and performances which include bugaku dance, ninja, violin, geisha, and trained monkeys. The mountain summit is easily accessible by cable car.
