Hokko-in Temple in Sagano, Kyoto, Japan, is a tranquil Buddhist temple and one of the most popular maple viewing spots in Kyoto. Hokko-in Temple was built in the 13th century as a branch of the Tendai sect and is famous for its beautiful gardens and architecture. The gardens of Hokko-in Temple are one of its most stunning features and are considered one of the most beautiful gardens in Japan. The garden is centered around a large pond, surrounded by a variety of trees and flowers, and has several small bridges and stone paths that allow visitors to enjoy the beautiful scenery from different angles. There is also a small hill in the garden of Baokan-in Temple, on which there is a small pavilion that overlooks the entire garden. In addition to the garden, the architecture of Hokuan-in is also one of its attractions. Especially its main hall, built in the 17th century, with exquisite wood carvings and paintings, is a must-see attraction. If you plan to visit Sagano, Kyoto, don't miss Hokko-in Temple. Whether you are admiring cherry blossoms in spring or maple leaves in autumn, this is a refreshing place. #Japanese Attractions #Hokuan-in #Kyoto #Japan #Garden #Architecture #Maple Viewing #Cherry Blossom Viewing

The red leaves in Kyoto's Arashiyama in autumn attract countless Japanese locals and foreign tourists, especially the Arashiyama train, Togetsukyo Bridge, Tenryuji Temple, etc., which are all very familiar attractions. These attractions are also concentrated in the south of JR Saga Arashiyama Station, which is very convenient for a one-time visit. But in fact, to see all the beauty of Arashiyama, this is only a small part. Friends who visit Sagano again may wish to spend a day exploring the north. I believe you will like Arashiyama more. Hokko-in is located north of JR Saga Arashiyama Station and is one of the attractions that is worth visiting. Compared to Tenryu-ji Temple and Daikaku-ji Temple, Hokkan-in Temple can be described as a "small temple". Its "smallness" makes it easily overlooked, and if you try to explore it from outside the walls, it seems that there is really nothing to see. But in fact, after visiting, you will find that the small square garden of Baokuangyuan in this park is densely populated with maple leaves, and there are also other trees with red leaves. The combination presents a colorful scenery, which is quite beautiful. The garden tour route of Baokuang-in is also carefully designed. You can see the different beauties of red leaves in the paths, alleys, and inside and outside the garden buildings. Your camera will definitely not be idle. 📍9-1 Minamichuincho, Saga-Shaka-do Monzen, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto 🎫 Adults: 500 yen / Students (elementary and junior high school students): 200 yen 🚌 Take the bus from Kyoto City to Daikaku-ji Temple and get off at Saga Shakado-mae 🚃 Get off at any railway station and walk about 10-20 minutes to 🕰️ Payment time: 09:00-16:00 #JapaneseAttractions #OverseasTravel #Japan #Kyoto #Sagano #Countryside #japan #kyoto #redleaf #もみじ

Going to Kyoto to enjoy the maple want to avoid the crowd? Then don't miss the treasure house. The entry of the red leaf road and the square courtyard is a big attraction of the treasure house. It is a painting that changes every scene. It is worth a little fun~ Baojuyuan is the Emperor Baihe of the Heian period. The temple built was named Shanjin Temple. The Muromachi era was renamed Bodhi Temple. The name of the present treasure house is the number of the second generation general of the Muromachi Shogunate. The Xiaonan Gongshou, who is in the middle of the temple, is the neighbor of the Mausoleum of Ashikaga. It is said that it is for the friendship between the two sides. This origin is recorded on the Chin Chung monument and is also a major attraction in the temple. Address: Kyoto Minami-ku, Minami-ku, Minami-ku, Minami-ku, Kyoto
