Keihan One-Day Maple Tour, Tofukuji Temple Autumn Leaves Sea × Osaka Castle Golden Autumn Walk

Kansai in autumn is a dream season for maple leaf lovers. If you don’t have much time and want to visit the classic fall foliage viewing spots in Kyoto and Osaka in one day, then this one-day fall foliage viewing itinerary in Keihan is definitely worth saving! Morning: Kyoto, Tofukuji Temple, the ultimate beauty of autumn leaves Depart from Osaka or Kyoto early in the morning and take the JR or Keihan Line to Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto (it is recommended to arrive before 9 am). This is one of the four famous spots for viewing maple leaves in Kyoto. The biggest attraction is overlooking the Red Leaf Valley below from the Tsutenkaku Bridge. The layers of red, orange and yellow are like a dream, interweaving with the thousand-year-old temple to form a painting. Remember to reserve time for taking photos and walking slowly to appreciate the scenery. You can stay for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Noon: Move to Osaka and enjoy authentic Kansai lunch After leaving Tofukuji Temple, you can take the JR back to Osaka and choose to enjoy a local-style lunch of skewers, oden, or takoyaki near Tennoji Station or Osaka Station. After replenishing your energy, continue your maple viewing trip. Afternoon: Osaka Castle Park: A perfect blend of golden ginkgo and historical atmosphere We arrived at Osaka Castle Park in the afternoon. The ginkgo avenue and maple tree area around the castle were dyed with autumn colors in mid-November, especially the golden trail in front of the castle tower, which looked super dreamy in photos. You can also climb up to the Osaka Castle Tower and overlook the beautiful scenery of the city and the red leaves dancing together. It is an experience of viewing autumn leaves that combines history and nature. Evening: Shopping + Night Tour After dark, you can move to Shinsaibashi or Umeda for shopping and dinner, bringing this autumn leaves trip to a perfect end. --- Location check-in: Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto (Tsutenkyo Bridge, Akitama Gorge) Osaka Castle Park (Castle Tower, Ginkgo Trail) #京汉赏枫 #東福寺紅葉 #奧沙城秋景 #坎西一天遊 #日本枫葉季 #東福寺紅葉 #奧沙卡银杏大道 #京都秋必遊 #廣場軟 #坎西紅葉行行 #MarchGoodPlaces2025
