Autumn Color Spots

Nanzen-ji Temple

17 Reviews

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.

In the cool air of the autumn early morning, walking on the bridge shining gold by the sun makes you feel going to the moon just like the bridge name. I think morning may be the best time for Kyoto's history.◎This place became the stage of many works such as 'The Makioka Sisters' by Jyunichiro Tanizaki, and a samurai drama 'Mortal Shigotonin'. There're a few people and it's easy to take pictures in the early morning.

In the cool air of the early morning in late autumn. Can you find the beauty of the natural garden and how you should be? It's not bad to look for something 'lovely', but let's stretch your back at a simple place once in a while.◎A famous picture of Daruma and a ceiling picture of Dragon are also interesting. Visiting in early morning, you can see them without congestion.

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.

A new spot, Yumeyu-tei, which was opened to the public last year. It is a spot where a dyeing workshop and a tea hermitage are fused by renovating a 150-year-old Meiji era building. The room where Yasunari Kawabata was active as a writer and the Japanese-style room with nice round windows. It is full of attractions such as the spectacular terrace where the Katsura River flows in front of you. A fantastic space where the autumn leaves seen from the round window are reflected on the black-painted desk. It is a photo spot with a superb view.

This sunflower field reaches its best season in September every year. Under the high blue sky in autumn, 15000 sunflowers including rare red ones swing in the breeze. Many people visit here to see the beautiful scenery of the sky, sunflowers, mountains and rice fields.◎This is 5th year of the field where the sunflowers are planted later to enjoy them during September.
