The best time to see the autumn leaves of Kyoto, “Sennyuji Temple”, and the occupancy hall.
Kyoto is Rakunan, "Sennyuji Temple" located just east of Kyoto Station.
This is read as "Sennyuji". This is difficult.
Furthermore, this "Miji" means that it is closely related to the Emperor's family.
Well, autumn leaves. When I saw it on November 19, 2017, it was in full bloom.
However, it was also beginning to fall a little.
Although it is located in Rakunan, the best time to see it is Sennyuji Temple.
It is a recommended spot for autumn leaves for quick autumn leaves rubber.
If you have a car, it's super easy to get there.
Since it is located in the back of Tofukuji Temple, the parking lots around it are basically full.
I thought, there is a parking lot here.
Actually, I didn't think there was a parking lot, so I parked at coin parking normally!
1200 yen in just one hour! !! Because it is a high level of rip-off, please use the parking lot.
However, not only was it bad, but there were many kilns around here, and it was fun to see such a pottery market.
It's quite fun to aim for "Sennyuji Temple" while passing through a narrow alley, so I recommend it.
Visit until 17:00. Reception is at 16:30.
When I arrived around 16:00, it felt good that there weren't many people.
And because it's at the foot of the mountain, it's quite cold.
If you go, I recommend you to wear a little thicker clothes.
Besides the autumn leaves, there are other attractions such as the main hall.
Autumn leaves are nicely scattered around the precincts. You can expect this!
This is "Sennyuji Temple Honbo" where you can see the autumn leaves.
My heart swells in anticipation.
Honbouchi. The sand is clean.
Strangely beautiful like the Toei Kyoto Studio Park. If you take good care of it, the old building will look like this.
The garden that I arrived at around the room where the emperor's attendant waits, such as "Samurai no Ma".
Autumn leaves are perfect. Some are starting to scatter a little.
The maple gradation is wonderful.
There is only a temple related to the Emperor's family, so it is somehow elegant.
It's more like a garden than wabi-sabi.
This is valuable.
There are not so many people and you can relax moderately.
After all, I love the autumn leaves because of the crowdedness of people like this.
It's good to be able to sit right away if you wait for a while at the corner of the porch, which can be said to be a special seat.
If it's a very famous and popular spot for autumn leaves, don't push it and you'll get a sickening atmosphere, but this is a paradise.
The color variations are amazing: red, orange, yellow, yellow-green, green, and dark green.
Besides, a wide Honbo. Suddenly there are modern gardens and buildings.
The autumn leaves here are wonderful again.
Suddenly, the lobby inside the building with a modern taste.
Why suddenly again? However, this is good because it's warm and you can rest!
