Higashiyama in the early spring is enveloped by a fantastic atmosphere, briefly attracting people, who walk, while seeing some events and various lanterns illuminating faintly their feet on the path, starting from Jingumichi road and Shoren-in Temple in the north, via Chion-in Temple, Maruyama Park, Yasaka-jinja Shrine and Shinkomichi road, viewing Daiun-in Temple Gion-kaku (Kyoto), to Entoku-in, Kodai-ji Temple, Nene no Michi (The Path of Nene), Ichinenzaka slope, Ninenzaka slope, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
北は神宮道から青蓮院に始まり、知恩院、円山公園、八坂神社、神幸道などを経由し、大雲院(京都市)祇園閣を眺め圓徳院、高台寺、ねねの道、一年坂、二年坂から清水寺までの行路の足元を仄かに照らすさまざまな行灯や催し物を見ながら歩く人々の群れで、早春の東山はしばし賑わい、幻想的な色合いに包まれる。
