I'm in the last lap of planning my kyoto trip and I'm looking for information on the temple light ups. Where can i get the information please? i tried googling but got outdated information. and my guide books say the temples all close at 4-5pm Would anyone be able to recomend some spots for the autum light ups If possible is there a site i can refer to?
Thanks.

We went last year and as Uji said thoroughly enjoyed Eikando and Kodaiji. We waited one hour in the queue to enter Eikando but it was well worth the wait. Also, Kiyomizudera is pretty impressive too at night time. Try and browse through last year's (and previous) Kyoto Koyo reports to get some idea of which ones you might enjoy. http://www.japan-guide.com/blog/koyo10/Enjoy your trip!

Thanks for the replies folks. I think i wanna go all :) i'll have to really drill into which ones to go. They all look so beautiful Since i'm going to have to be queueing up at night i think i should bring a thicker coat right?

You can group a few of them together too. For example you could easily do Kiyomizudera and Kodaiji in one night as they are basically next to each other.
Yes a thicker coat might be useful.

Ask to the guest-houses!
But I answer as I know right now. On friday I walked up mountains of East-side of KYOTO. Kiyomizu-dera Temple was not so beautiful. It has less KAEDE tree than Sakura/cherry trees. Alas cherry leaves had gone already.
My best recommendation is Shogun-zuka/Dainichi-do garden 500yen/person. But unless you are good hiker you must pay some big money to cab-driver from Westin-Miyako-Hotel.
Anyway, on the east end side of MaruyamaPark around the statue of 2 last-SAMURAIs (Ryoma and Nakaoka) you can see the quite beautiful leaves and dawn only if you reach there 3;40pm
