[Go here] A hidden gem! The holy land of that manga that was made into a live-action film. A spot to see autumn leaves lined with expressive arhat statues.

There is a hidden spot for viewing autumn leaves in the area of ​​Sagano, further north from the Arashiyama area! This time, I would like to introduce "Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple" in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto. It is the starting point of the "Sagano Tour" which takes you around the temples, shrines and famous places around Saga. 🏃♂️And this temple appears in the manga "Rurouni Kenshin" and is a sacred place. 😍 This temple has 1200 stone statues called arhat statues, each with a different expression, which is interesting to look at. 🤣 It is a spot where you can experience a slightly different worldview of autumn leaves, as it has a hall with a structure that you won't see at other temples in Kyoto City! It is a little on the mountain side, so it is about a week earlier than the autumn leaves spots in the city, but I hope you will visit it during your Kyoto autumn leaves stroll in late November, when the busiest time of the year is off! You can even take a bus right in front of it! That's it! What do you think? If you want to enjoy autumn leaves without the super crowds, this is a hidden gem, so please come and visit us😆 ~ ...

Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple

Otagi-Nenbutsu-ji is a temple of the Tendai branch of Japanese Buddhism, located at the foot of Mount Atago, in Arashiyama moutains in the west of Kyoto. Its notoriety is due to the 1,200 Buddha’s disciples’ statues crafted by amateurs from all over Japan during the temple’s renovation in the 1980s, under the supervision of monk and sculptor Kocho Nishimura.
