[2025 Ikeda Attraction] Travel Guide for Kyuan-ji (Updated Mar)

Are you still worried about the crowded maple viewing season? Escape to Kyuanji Temple in Ikeda City, Osaka Prefecture! This is definitely a private and niche maple viewing spot. Stepping into Kuanji Temple is like entering Hayao Miyazaki’s autumn fairy tale. In the temple's large maple forest, when autumn comes, the maple leaves are dyed with brilliant colors by the autumn wind, from orange to fiery red, with distinct layers. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and the interweaving of light and shadow is so beautiful that it is speechless. This place is far away from the hustle and bustle and there are no dense tourists. You can enjoy the quiet time, slowly appreciate the beauty of maple leaves, listen to the rustling of falling leaves, and feel the tenderness of autumn. The architecture of the temple is simple and elegant, with vermilion railings, wooden eaves and maple leaves complementing each other, and any shot will be a Japanese-style blockbuster full of atmosphere. If you feel tired, you can sit in the temple's tea house, order a cup of hot tea, and enjoy the beautiful maple leaves outside the window. My dears, don’t go to popular scenic spots to enjoy the maple leaves. Come to Jiuan Temple to unlock your own autumn romance! #Osaka Attractions
