Eigenji Temple (Momiji Temple)

Eigenji Temple was constructed in 1446 and enshrines Benzaiten, the goddess of performing arts and one of the Seven Lucky Gods in Japan. It is also known as Momiji Temple due to the beautiful maple leaves (momiji) that can be seen on the temple grounds.

At Eigenji Temple, the leaves begin to change colors around late October, with early to mid-November being the best time to see them. The autumn leaves filling the temple grounds create a wonderful sight, making it a popular spot for tourists.

Eigenji Temple is situated on elevated ground, offering a stunning bird's eye view of Daigo's townscape.

Fukuroda Falls

Fukuroda Falls is ranked among Japan’s "Three Great Waterfalls." A visit here will quickly reveal why. Water cascades over four levels of the rocky cliff face, earning it the nickname "Yondo no Taki" (four times waterfalls).
In autumn, the falls are breathtaking when the fiery foliage transforms the surrounding mountains. But if you can’t make it in autumn, don’t worry! In winter, the waterfall freezes over in a stunning icy spectacle. In the summertime, the cool spray of the rushing water makes them a great place to escape the heat.
The Fukuroda Falls area is where several beginner-friendly hiking trails begin. It's a great way to explore more of northern Ibaraki’s stunning mountains.
If hiking isn’t your thing, head to one of the soba noodle restaurants or souvenir shops at the base of the falls. You can even sample the area’s famous apple pie!
