Kyoto Guide Sanzen-in Temple is so beautiful. I want to go there during the maple leaf season.

A must-see in Kyoto’s niche attractions, a one-day trip without stepping on the sights of the Thunder Goddess 💫About the itinerary Trip planning: 📍Nanzenji Temple—📍Sanzenin—📍Kikawa Shrine—📍Kurama Temple Nanzenji Temple: Opens at 9 o'clock. The scenic spot is grand. There are not many people here early in the morning. 1 hour is enough for sightseeing and taking photos. Sanqianyuan The business hours are 9:00-17:00. It is highly recommended. The scenery inside is rich, the mountains, rivers, green plants and buildings are beautiful. It is a perfect combination of man and nature. You can go shopping for 1.5-2 hours. I have to say that the mountain road up from Ohara Station is also It’s particularly beautiful, with streams along the way, and the temperature in the mountains is cooler than in the city. Kibune Shrine: No entrance fee, 30-40 minutes to visit. The shrine is not big but very unique. You can draw water tickets. There are many Kawadoko dishes to experience along the way. If you are lucky enough, you can also meet wild deer drinking water by the river. You can walk to Kurama Temple at Kibune Shrine. You can navigate according to the map 🗺️. At Kurama Station, you can see the huge Tengu mask statue, with its long nose, frowning brows, and downturned corners of the mouth. It looks very majestic from the side. It's very fierce. Looking at it from the front... it's a bit funny, as if it's showing off its cuteness through pouty lips. Continuing forward, you will reach the main gate of Kurama Temple. There is a long staircase at the entrance, with lampstands dedicated by believers on both sides. Buy a ticket at the door to enter. It’s not called a ticket here, it’s called a “Mountain Love Fee”. Kurama Temple is very large, and the whole area is spread out on the mountain. The process of visiting is a process of climbing the mountain, which is still a bit hard. If you are not confident in your physical strength or don’t want to be so tired, you can choose to take the cable car at Puming Hall not far from the gate. Today’s itinerary is very fulfilling and full. I recommend it to those who are energetic in Kyoto for the second time. ️ The scenic spots around the city are remote. It is recommended to charter a car when traveling with children and the elderly. Save worry and effort
