Kyoto Attractions｜Arashiyama's exquisite maple viewing spot - Hokko-in

There are many ancient temples and famous places for viewing maple leaves in Arashiyama Sagano. This time, during the autumn leaf season at the end of November, I chose to visit "Hokan-in Temple". The temple is located in the area north of the JR Sagano Line and has relatively few tourists. The temple is not big and can be visited in half an hour. If you are attracted by the unique red leaves, you can sit cross-legged in the main hall and enjoy it quietly. 📍Address: 9-1 Minami-chuin-cho, Saga-Shaka-do Mon-mae, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto 🕒Opening hours: 9:00～16:00 🎫Tickets: 500 yen for adults 🚌Public transportation: Take the Keifuku Railway to Arashiyama Station or the JR Sagano Line to Saga Arashiyama Station and walk for 15 minutes #Japan must-visit check-in spots
