I thought Rurikoin Temple in Kyoto was beautiful, until I arrived...

🍁 During the autumn leaves season in Kyoto, if you feel that Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Sanzen-in Temple, and Ruriko-in Temple are too crowded, why not go to Tenjuan instead! The red leaf scenery here is much less popular and more appealing. 📍Tenshouan Ⓜ️Take the Tozai Subway Line to Keage Station and walk for 10 minutes from the station. There are many red leaf check-in spots around Tenjuan, which is very suitable for a day trip citywalk. Tenjuan➡️Nanzenin➡️Fangzhang Zen Temple➡️Kotokuan➡️Eikan-do➡️Philosophy Path➡️Anleji➡️Zhenru-dang. 🎫Except for Tenjuan and Eikan-do, many temples here are free. There are many red leaves and ginkgo trees inside and outside the temples, which are very beautiful. Tenjuan is located in Nanzen-ji Temple, one of the five mountains in Kyoto, on Higashiyama. Nanzen-ji Temple is very large, with many temples and monasteries of various kinds. Tenjuan is one of them. It was built to commemorate Guanyu Pumen, the founder of Nanzen-ji Temple. Guanyu Pumen studied in the Song Dynasty for 12 years. After his death, he was given the posthumous title of Great Ming National Master by the Emperor. Tenjuan not only has a profound historical heritage, but is also very beautiful during the red leaf and cherry blossom seasons. #NotesInspiration #NicheTravelDestination #HealingScenery #KyotoTravel #KyotoRedLeaves #KyotoPhotography #KyotoNicheAttractions
