[2025 Tamba-Sasayama Attraction] Travel Guide for Dokoji Temple (Updated Apr)

This temple was founded during the Nanboku-cho period, and with the support of the Ashikaga and Hosokawa clans, it is a historic temple that is one of the three great temples in Tanba, and is popular among those in the know as a spot to see the autumn leaves. In mid-November, the Autumn Leaves Festival is held. There is also free parking. You will have to go through a narrow road, but if you are driving by car, it is no problem. There are a few steps up to the temple grounds. There are clean restrooms, so you don't have to worry. It is compact, but the autumn leaves were a wonderful gradation. #0yentripNovember

There are also "upside-down maples" reflected in the pond, so you can take some great autumn photos. / Toukouji Temple ＼ I went there a little early, but Toukouji Temple in Tanba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture Autumn is so beautiful! 🍂🍁🐿️ When you pass through the temple gate, you will see a collaboration of bright red and yellow autumn leaves and ginkgo trees! The leaves spread out all over the place like autumn art🎨 🍁 Toukouji Temple is a super old temple built in 1374, but it is still very popular with tourists❣️ There are more than 50 maples and three sturdy ginkgo trees in the temple grounds, and in autumn the leaves turn a beautiful color. This year's autumn leaves started to change in early November, and the ginkgo leaves fell quickly, creating a yellow carpet of color on the ground. 💛 The "upside-down maple leaves" reflected in the pond are also very picturesque and amazing! The area in front of the Inari Shrine is a particularly popular photo spot. If you want to take some beautiful autumn photos, this might be a must-see spot🤭 𝕚𝕟𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -𖤣𖥧𖥣𖡡𖥧𖤣 📍 #Doukouji Temple 301 Higashihonjo, Tanba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -𖤣𖥧𖥣𖡡𖥧𖤣 #Tanba Sasayama #Hyogo Tourism #Tanba Sasayama Tourism #Hyogo Trip #Tanba Sasayama Drive #Tanba Sasayama Tourism #Domestic Travel Record

When talking about autumn leaves in the Kansai region, Kyoto, Nara, and Shiga probably spring to mind, right? Not many people think about going to Hyogo to see the autumn leaves, right? That's why it's a hidden gem!! Yet there are many beautiful spots✨ Today, I would like to introduce "Doukouji Temple" in Tanba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture, one of the autumn foliage spots that I would like to introduce to you💡 More than 50 maple trees and three ginkgo trees spread their leaves in the temple grounds, creating a beautiful scene😆 What I think is most beautiful here is the world created by the fallen ginkgo leaves and red maple leaves🍁 The red torii gate that stands out there⛩️ There are not many places where you can see this contrast of yellow and red🤩 Also, the maple leaves that grow right up to the water's surface are reflected on the water, which is a very beautiful sight🥰 (The water was blue on this day, but it was muddy after the rain) Even though it is such a beautiful spot, you have to go by car, so there are no crowds like in Kyoto!! ! If you're thinking of giving up on seeing the autumn leaves in Kyoto, why not consider this too? 💡 ~~~~~~Information~~~~~~ 📍Doukouji Temple Address: 301 Higashihonjo, Tanba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture Access: 1 hour by car from Itami Airport Visiting hours: Free Admission fee: Free ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #Domestic travel journal #Domestic travel
