I used to live in Yamashina in Kyoto, and I have ridden my bicycle past this temple many times. It looks peaceful and inviting at any time of year, but it is quite stunning in autumn. Cherry, maple and gingko trees combine their various shades of orange, red and gold to create a wonderful riot of color. This temple is in easy walking distance from Yamashina JR Station, and very close to Higashino Station on Tozai Subway Line, so if you have the opportunity, pay a visit this autumn.
