The best way to avoid congestion and the best time to see the autumn leaves “Eikan-do” in Kyoto.




A spot of autumn leaves that represents Kyoto and has been sung by many cultural figures as "Maple Eikan-do".

Anyway, no matter where you look, 360 degrees, autumn leaves, autumn leaves, autumn leaves! !!

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a theme park for autumn leaves.

There are many, the beauty of red, the gorgeousness of yellow, all of which are the best in the world.

To be honest, as a temple, it's hard to see more gorgeous autumn leaves spots.

The autumn leaves in Kyoto are usually

Kaohsiung in early November,

Rakuhoku (upper part of Sakyo Ward, Kita Ward) in the middle of 11th

Rakuchu (Kamigyo Ward, Nakagyo Ward, Higashiyama Ward, Sakyo Ward) in late November,

Rakunan (Shimogyo Ward, Fushimi), in early December

It is in full bloom.

That's why Eikan-do in Rakuchu and Sakyo Ward is in full bloom from mid-November to early December.

Especially recommended in late November. The beauty that you can't think of in this world.

However, it is the peak time of autumn leaves in Kyoto.

Not only at Eikan-do, but everywhere you go, the peak of autumn colors is at its peak, so lol.

Now, how to avoid congestion and see smoothly.

First, let's stop the bus.

As a temple, "Please come by public transportation",

At this time, the bus departing from Kyoto Station will be delayed by about an hour.

Because the bus that should have left Kyoto Station is stuck in front of me due to traffic jams, so lol.

First of all, the time zone is good in the morning. That's right, the super famous autumnal spot "Eikan-do" that competes for one or two in Kyoto.

Speaking of Disneyland, it is the most popular attraction. It is "Big Thunder Mountain".

In USJ, it's The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

If you think of JR "Kyoto Station" as the entrance to the theme park "Autumn Leaves Land",

It's only natural to go to the most popular attractions first, right?

In the morning, take a taxi! You can reach it without congestion with a single run.

If you oversleep in the morning, I recommend it unexpectedly.

Take the subway Karasuma Line to "Karasuma Oike" station, change to the Tozai line, and get off at "Kiage" station.

It's okay if you look at the time for 40 minutes.

As soon as you pass Nanzenji Temple, you will find "Eikan-do". Nanzenji Temple is also a very famous spot for autumn leaves, so it is recommended to ladder the autumn leaves as it is.

Another way to avoid congestion.

Anyway, the busiest weekend is related to Labor Thanksgiving Day.

It is in full bloom on November 23, the autumn leaves are surely beautiful, and the consecutive holidays are involved, so it is the best for an autumn trip.

That's crowded. However, surprisingly, the autumn colors in Kyoto are still in full bloom even after December!

You may be a little worried in December, but the carpet of autumn leaves is also good.

After all, the autumn leaves, which have been overwhelmed by the ridiculous congestion, are more beautiful and can be said to be in full bloom.

By all means, please examine the way of looking at the autumn leaves that suits you and enjoy the autumn leaves without regrets!

Eikan-do entrance. I went there on November 29th, a week after the holidays including Labor Thanksgiving Day.

永観堂31

The morning sun is still in the eastern sky. Around 9 am.

永観堂13

It's still pretty enough.

永観堂230

Eikan-do is quite large, and there are many buildings such as temples and towers.

It's fun to walk in the precincts.

永観堂29

The halls are lined up so as to surround the courtyard. It's fun to walk along the eaves here.

永観堂28

It is also a good idea to look at the autumn leaves through the window frame.

永観堂27

I wonder if this is Hojo. Japan's premier autumnal attraction, like a maze.

永観堂135

Speaking of Eikan-do, "Amitabha in return".

There is a rare Buddha statue with Amida facing sideways, so don't miss this too!

永観堂24

Since it is on the mountainside, there are quite a few ups and downs up and down.

It's a good exercise.

Round and round like a corridor. It looks like a castle.

永観堂22

The climbing stairs are also interesting because they have a gradual roof.

永観堂21

No matter where you look, the leaves are colored, so your eyes are getting used to it, and it's not uncommon.

永観堂19

There is also a hall with a rather Chinese atmosphere.

I wonder if the temples built for each era are different.

永観堂17

I took off my shoes and walked along the eaves to the hall, but this time I put on my shoes and strolled in the garden.

永観堂142

The red color of the autumn leaves of Eikan-do is quite dark.

The perfect color for the image of autumn leaves.

永観堂111

Carpet of temple and autumn leaves and maple. You can experience the image of the autumn leaves in Kyoto.

永観堂

As expected, near December, there are some fall foliage that have fallen and some that are still working hard.

永観堂15

Climb to the tower on the mountainside.

永観堂14

A sunny autumn morning in Kyoto. It's refreshing.

永観堂12

You can also enjoy the red carpet.

永観堂9

No matter where you cut it, the autumn leaves will come in, so you will be wondering where to take it.

永観堂8

The garden is quite large, and there is also a forest-like garden.

永観堂5

There are various things, such as the goodness of temples and autumn leaves, and the goodness of a natural forest.

永観堂4

A fiery road in the precincts. Well, this is one of the most famous autumnal meccas in Kyoto.

Really amazing! !!
