[2025 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Renge-ji (Updated Jul)

After the cherry blossom season comes the season of lush greenery🟢Kyoto is attractive for both cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, but Kyoto dyed in the greenery of fresh greenery is also very beautiful✨There is a hidden spot for fresh greenery that I don't really want to tell you about! That is "Rengeji Temple" located near Rurikoin Temple. Rurikoin Temple is a little far from the tourist spots in Kyoto city, so it would be a waste to go only to Rurikoin Temple! For those who think so, I recommend this temple! ! Although it is located a 20-minute walk from Rurikoin Temple, there are incomparably fewer people😳A very quiet space spreads out there, and it is a place that heals both body and mind☺️You can enjoy the fresh greenery from around Golden Week! If you are planning to go to Kyoto during Golden Week or if you are thinking of going to Rurikoin Temple, please stop by here‼ ️You can enjoy the fresh greenery until early June! Rurikoin Temple is open to the public from April 13th to June 16th! That's all! How about it! If you are planning to go to Kyoto to experience the fresh greenery, please be sure to stop by here! ~~~~~~Information~~~~~~ 📍Rengeji TempleAddress: 1 Kamitakano Hachiman-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto CityAccess: Get off at "Kamihashi" on the Kyoto BusOpening hours: 9:00-17:00Cost: 400 yen~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #Sakura2024 #Japan's Greatest Views #Domestic Travel #Japan's Greatest Views

Before visiting the popular Ruriko-in Temple, I visited Renge-ji Temple, which is open from 9am. 😉 From Shijo Karasuma, take the Kyoto Bus bound for Ohara for about 35 minutes (get off at Kamihashi stop), which is easier to access than taking the train such as the Eizan Electric Railway. 🚍 By the way, it takes about 20 minutes to walk leisurely between Renge-ji Temple and Ruriko-in Temple, which is just the right length for a stroll. 👍 This temple is also beautiful with its green leaves and gardens. It tends to be overshadowed by Ruriko-in Temple, but it is small but well worth seeing. ☺️ There were not many people, so I was able to enjoy it at my leisure! Please be careful as photography is prohibited here, especially in front of the stone Buddha statues lined up on the left side as you enter the grounds. ⚠️ Admission fee: 400 yen Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 Visit: June 2020 #KyotoTourism #DomesticTravel #Kyoto #KyotoCity #KyotoTrip #Temple #Rengeji #AutumnFoliage #GreenFoliage #GreenAutumnFoliage #Garden

Compared to other famous spots in Kyoto, Rengeji Temple is a small yet beautiful existence. There are no noisy tour groups, no vast grounds, just a tatami-floored study where you can sit and watch the garden change with the seasons. Yes, to appreciate the Jodo-style garden, you must sit quietly and feel the sound of water and the rustling of leaves through the door frame. Once you step outside, photography is prohibited; you can only use your eyes to experience the beauty of the Japanese garden, which aims to present the Pure Land in the 'other shore.' Originally located near Kyoto Station, Rengeji Temple was burned down during the Onin War and later rebuilt at its current location in Rakuhoku, with a high monk from Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei invited to establish it as a Tendai sect temple. The torii gate at the entrance, the red leaves, and the golden ginkgo carpet create a charming scenery. In early summer, the garden is lush green, and in winter, it is covered with white snow. If you want to visit Rengeji Temple, take the Eizan Electric Railway and get off at Miyake-Hachiman Station, then walk through the residential area to reach it. 📍Address: 〒606-0065 Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City, Sakyo Ward, Kamitakano Hachimancho 1

📍 Rengeji Temple, Kyoto A small temple in Rakuhoku, Kyoto🤍 This temple is said to be a hidden spot for viewing autumn leaves, and you can enjoy the "green maples" in early summer and the "red leaves" in autumn🍁 The leaves were at their peak and it was very beautiful😍 Perhaps because it is in a slightly remote location, there are not as many people as other autumn leaf viewing spots, so you can spend your time leisurely. At first, everyone was taking photos near the veranda, but did they give way to each other? Can you guess? I was able to take a photo of an empty picture frame of autumn leaves✨ Since it is a temple, first pray to the Buddha and then take a photo♡ Add some excitement to your daily life:🌙📍Rengeji Temple📮 1 Kamitakano Hachiman-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City🚃 Get off at Eizan Electric Railway's "Miyake Hachiman" station, about 10 minutes walk🚌 Get off at Kyoto Bus' "Kamihashi" stop, about 1 minute walk🕚 9:00-17:00👛 500 yen※There are other autumn leaf viewing spots along the Eizan Electric Railway line, so a one-day train ticket is recommended🚃 #tripdomestictravel #autumnleafviewing #autumnleafspots #Kyoto #Kyotosightseeing #Kyototrip #autumnleaves

|Lotus Temple. "Renge-ji Temple" is located at the foot of Mount Hiei. The Eizan Railway to "Rurikoin" will pass "Miyake Hachiman" and then arrive at "Yase Hiei Pass"🚞 There are a lot of people at Rurikoin in autumn, so you might as well come here to take a look while you're there. The ticket price is 500 yen. It takes about ten minutes to walk after getting off the bus. The entrance is not big, pay attention to the name. It only takes 15 minutes to walk there. There are hexagonal lotus-shaped stone lanterns in Renge-ji Temple, and a pond viewing garden designed by Ishikawa Jozan. The autumn colors here are definitely good, but it is not very famous and has a low-key existence. 📸 The feeling of entering here is like entering the scene of "Demon Slayer", and the BGM immediately echoes in your ears. ⚠️ Renge-ji Temple is positioned as a non-tourist temple, with strict requirements for worship and photography. Photography of the main hall and garden can only be done inside the academy. Visitors to the courtyard and main hall need to wear slippers 🩴 to enter, and photography 🚫 is prohibited in outdoor areas and the main hall 📸. 🕰️ The park closes at 17:00 in the afternoon, so don’t be late.

This is my favorite temple in Kyoto. It's near Rurikoin Temple, and the admission fee is cheap at about 400 yen, so I went there on the way there, but personally I preferred it to Rurikoin Temple. Because there were few people, you could have the ancient Japanese garden all to yourself in the tatami space. I had about 30 minutes alone. You can go out into the garden, but you can only take photos from the tatami space. Also, there were hundreds of Jizo statues at the entrance, which were eye-catching. The temple staff were kind and comfortable. I think it takes about an hour to get there from Kyoto Station by bus. Also, on sunny days, I think it's a good idea to rent a bicycle and enjoy the roads.

A small temple, its time to go. When you enter the door, you will be attracted by the red leaves. The stone street is covered with orange maple leaves. Here you can't even hear the tourists whispering, as if the time is still, everyone wants to print this picture of nature. Into the mind. Address: Kokusai-cho, Ogaki-cho, Zuojing-ku 1h/Hour time: 9
