This is one of the top ten places to appreciate red leaves in Kyoto, so every red leaf season here is crowded with people. Especially the overpasses here are crowded with tourists, but the scenery here is really very beautiful, even if so many people are still worth it, after all, a year in this short few weeks to enjoy the red leaves, and then squeeze also want to see.

    Tofuku-ji, founded in 1236 in Kyoto, Japan, by the powerful Fujiwara clan, stands as one of the five great Zen temples of Kyoto. Established to pray for the souls of those who perished in the Mongol invasions, it has weathered centuries of historical shifts and architectural reconstructions. The temple complex boasts significant structures such as the iconic Sanmon gate, the oldest of its kind in Japan, and the Tsutenkyo Bridge, famous for its panoramic views of autumn foliage.Visitors are drawn to Tofuku-ji for its profound Zen atmosphere, beautiful gardens, and seasonal transformations, particularly during the autumn season when the vibrant colors of maple leaves create a mesmerizing spectacle. The blend of historical significance, architectural splendor, and natural beauty makes Tofuku-ji a cultural gem and a contemplative retreat for those seeking a glimpse into Japan's rich heritage.

    Dongfu Temple mainly has two paid projects, Tongtianqiao and Abbot Courtyard. The Tongtian Bridge is beautiful, and the courtyard outside the bridge is very large for walking or daze. The abbot Courtyard is famous for the dead landscape in four directions in the southeast and northwest. To be honest, it is not particularly appreciated. If time is tight, just look at the overpass. Of course, tourists generally come to the mentality, don't expect too much in the abbot's courtyard.

    Tofuji Temple is one of the five major temples in Kyoto and the largest Buddhist temple in Kyoto. It was built in the ninth century AD and is an ancient classic worth a careful visit.

    I have been to two places, the first non-maple season, very quiet and open. When the Maple Leaf season returns, although it is a working day, it is also from the beginning of the subway there has been a large flow of people, along the way there are signs and staff to maintain order. Dongfu Temple does not need tickets, but the best place to enjoy maple is the overpass. Once you enter Dongfu Temple, you can see the distant overpass and the Red Maple Leaf Valley under the bridge. There are many maple trees here. In addition, Abbot courtyards also have to pay to enter, many Japanese Abbot courtyards are generally dry mountains and rivers.

    This autumn has not cooled down, maple leaves will be red at the end of the month. Dongfu Temple, the Tongtianqiao in the temple is a scenic spot for viewing red leaves. Woyunqiao is the best place to take photos of Tongtianqiao and Xiyujian Red Leaf Landscape. There are 25 pagodas in the temple, and the oldest Mountain Gate is a precious national cultural relic. The abbot's courtyard of Dongfu Temple was rebuilt in 1890, and the gardener Chung Sen Sanling completed his surrounding gardens in 1939. Only the abbot's courtyard of Dongfu Temple is surrounded by gardens on all sides, southeast and northwest. These four modern Zen gardens, which are constructed from the abstract concepts of traditional and modern art, have been introduced all over the world. Nanting has the symbols of "Penglai", "Abbot", "Yingzhou", "Huliang" of Sixian Island boulder, and the white sand brushed out of the ripple sea represents "Bahai", while the west of the garden is planted with similar "Wushan" green moss rockery. Xiting constructed the trimmed Rhododendron dwarf irrigation and white sand into "wells" words, whose name "Jingtian Shisong" originated from the word "minefield" of ancient Chinese farming system. Beiting is a chessboard greenbelt alternately composed of moss cut into small squares and stone laying used for mounting doors. In autumn, the maple leaves of the Yujian River in its background are colourful, and it is a famous scenic spot to appreciate maple in Kyoto. The remaining pillars of other buildings in the Fusi Temple east of Dongting are laid in sand with the pattern of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, which is called the "Big Dipper Court". The whole courtyard is small, but it gathers many elements. The Dongfu Temple and the Abbot's Garden have to buy tickets separately.
