Rokuo-in Temple

Rokuou-in Temple's stone paved approach is like an autumn colored red tunnel. We can walk along the approach slowly, and enjoy autumn of Kyoto. Going through the pass, there's a garden where the tranquil time glides by. Please try to look up sometimes.

This Karesansui garden is wonderful, and produces a beautiful contrast of autumn foliage and green moss. It wouldn't be so crowded like famous temples, you can enjoy seeing them without hustle. This frame was said to be written by Yoshimitsu Ashikaga, a founder of a scent and the third general of Muromachi shogunate.

Limited for only 100 people to enter, the night special visiting was held for the first time in 2016. A tunnel of fall foliage worth seeing even in the daytime becomes indescribably beautiful by the illuminations at night. I want this special visiting to be held in and after 2017.
