I visited Nanzenji Temple, a popular spot for autumn leaves, and Tenju-an Temple, which has two beautiful gardens, in kimono. The autumn leaves in the eastern garden were in full bloom, and it was a magnificent view that you could see forever while sitting on the porch. Another wonderful view that sighs is the autumn leaves in the south garden, which looks like a painting, cut out by the window frame of the Shoin. When I raised my face to buy a ticket at the entrance, I jumped into my eyes first and was fascinated.

The road in the west of Kodai-ji Temple is paved with granite. You can find some rental shops of Kimono around here. It'll be nice for you to wear Kimono and ride a rickshaw.
The shrine is very popular for its long senbon torii gate. It is a recommended spot because it is not far from Kyoto Station by train. It is good to rent a kimono because it fits very well.
