Located in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture, Furumine Shrine is also known as the 'Shrine of the Tengu.' Nestled in a naturally rich mountainous area, the shrine boasts a 30,000-tsubo (about 99,000 square meters) traditional strolling Japanese garden, where visitors can enjoy seasonal flowers and trees. In autumn, the grounds and surrounding trees turn brilliant shades of red and yellow, creating a majestic atmosphere perfect for appreciating the fall colors. The vivid foliage around the main hall and approach path contrasts beautifully with the historic shrine architecture, enchanting visitors. The shrine's garden, called Furumine-en, is especially famous for its autumn leaves. The best time to see the foliage is from late October to early November, making it a popular destination in Tochigi for autumn leaf viewing.
