A small but beautiful temple with red leaves covering the sky - Hokuan-in Temple

The red leaves in Kyoto's Arashiyama in autumn attract countless Japanese locals and foreign tourists, especially the Arashiyama train, Togetsukyo Bridge, Tenryuji Temple, etc., which are all very familiar attractions. These attractions are also concentrated in the south of JR Saga Arashiyama Station, which is very convenient for a one-time visit. But in fact, to see all the beauty of Arashiyama, this is only a small part. Friends who visit Sagano again may wish to spend a day exploring the north. I believe you will like Arashiyama more. Hokko-in is located north of JR Saga Arashiyama Station and is one of the attractions that is worth visiting. Compared to Tenryu-ji Temple and Daikaku-ji Temple, Hokkan-in Temple can be described as a "small temple". Its "smallness" makes it easily overlooked, and if you try to explore it from outside the walls, it seems that there is really nothing to see. But in fact, after visiting, you will find that the small square garden of Baokuangyuan in this park is densely populated with maple leaves, and there are also other trees with red leaves. The combination presents a colorful scenery, which is quite beautiful. The garden tour route of Baokuang-in is also carefully designed. You can see the different beauties of red leaves in the paths, alleys, and inside and outside the garden buildings. Your camera will definitely not be idle. 📍9-1 Minamichuincho, Saga-Shaka-do Monzen, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto 🎫 Adults: 500 yen / Students (elementary and junior high school students): 200 yen 🚌 Take the bus from Kyoto City to Daikaku-ji Temple and get off at Saga Shakado-mae 🚃 Get off at any railway station and walk about 10-20 minutes to 🕰️ Payment time: 09:00-16:00 #JapaneseAttractions #OverseasTravel #Japan #Kyoto #Sagano #Countryside #japan #kyoto #redleaf #もみじ
