Eikan-dō (Zenrin-ji)

Around 3,000 maples, and the reason to come after dark is Hōjō Pond: the Tahō-tō pagoda and the bridges double in the black water, which is the image every listing for this temple uses. The evening ticket is separate from the daytime one, and the day gate closes at 17:00 before the night session begins. Published hours differ slightly between sources, so the closing time is the figure to confirm rather than the opening one.
