Day 1 In the early morning, I departed from downtown Kyoto and took a train to Ruriko-in Temple in Yase. Upon entering the temple, it felt like stepping into a symphony of light and shadow. The fresh green maple leaves of spring reflected on the mirror-like surface of the study room table, creating a dreamy natural painting. Climbing the steps, I strolled through the moss garden and dry landscape garden, where the soft sunlight bathed the moss, imbuing the entire garden with a serene Zen ambiance. At noon, I enjoyed a cup of matcha and wagashi at a nearby teahouse, gazing at the garden scenery through the window and savoring the slow passage of time. In the afternoon, I continued to explore the exhibitions in the study room, learning about the history and Zen culture of Ruriko-in Temple. As the sun set, the garden was bathed in a golden glow, making the day's itinerary poetic and peaceful. Day 2 On the second day, I chose to continue exploring the natural and cultural charms around Ruriko-in Temple. In the morning, I took a cable car from Yase-Hieizanguchi to the top of Mount Hiei, where I admired the magnificent mountain scenery. Then, I made a brief stop at Enryaku-ji Temple on the mountaintop, experiencing the tranquil atmosphere of this thousand-year-old Buddhist sanctuary. In the afternoon, I returned to the area around Ruriko-in Temple and took a leisurely stroll along the Koya River. The clear stream and the maple trees on both banks were mesmerizing. Finally, I returned to the city with a heart full of memories, feeling grateful and reluctant to leave. Ruriko-in Temple is not just a tourist attraction but a gateway to the inner world.

Before I went to Liuliguang Temple, I came across a lot of posts about lightning protection. They were all complaining that it was not worth it and that the tickets were expensive🎫. I finished reading it in a few minutes. The key is to make a reservation. It was only after I went that I realized that the road is walked by oneself, and everyone’s feelings are different. Now let me talk about my feelings after going there, one by one. 🚇The transportation is very convenient. For example, when I live in Gion Shijo, I take the subway to Demachiyanagi and transfer to the Eizan Electric Railway (toward Yase Hieizanguchi) and get off at the terminal station. It takes about 10 minutes to walk there. 🕐About 50 minutes 1️⃣Is it necessary to make a reservation to enter the Maple Leaf Season Liuliguangyuan? No, if you don’t make a reservation in advance, you can queue up on site. I entered the park at 14:00 in the afternoon and queued at the door for about 20 minutes. Just register your name before queuing. 2️⃣Ticket price? 🎫The ticket is 2,000 yen. Not only is the ticket, it also contains a prayer book. After visiting Rurikoin Temple, you can sit on the prayer seat and write ✍. First copy the Buddhist scriptures and then write down the inscription and wishes. I think this experience I like it very much and can take it away. 3️⃣Are there many people? There is definitely a per-person effect, but the main reason for the large number of people is that everyone comes here to take pictures. The whole courtyard is very aesthetic. As long as you can take pictures, I think you can make a photo. If you wear a kimono, the effect will be more beautiful. 4️⃣What are the techniques for producing films? How did you take the scenery? Many people say that the scenery is a scam, because it is the light and shadow reflected by the black table that creates the breathtaking beauty of Rurikoin, but I really want to say that it is really beautiful to the naked eye. The left 👈🏻 is red and the right 👉 🏻It’s green, I just regret that I can’t take pictures of the scenery to the naked eye. 5️⃣Tour time? I came down for about an hour because I like photography, looking for angles to look for light and shadow, including looking at souvenirs and souvenirs. ⚠️A reminder, when taking photos at a black table, you must take photos in a civilized manner and don’t always occupy the spot🕳️and stay away. Of course, the staff will also remind tourists who have occupied the spot for a long time and will not leave. It is divided into the first floor and the second floor. After taking photos and praying and copying scriptures on the second floor, you can take a bite and then go to take pictures of the courtyard scenery and sit for a while. The weather has been very good these two days, and it is very photogenic. #AutumnTravel #Leave my autumn-viewing seat #Kyoto Maple Leaf Season #六里光院 #Ruishan Electric Railway #Kyoto Travel #Kyoto Temple #Japanese Garden #Light and Shadow Art

Is the summer glass house worth going to? It's worth it! morning at the door to the Liuliguangyuan. Half an hour before the door is opened, the door has been lined up. At 10 o'clock, there was an old monk who walked out of the monastery, walked down the steps, walked to the front of the team, bowed to the tourists and said thank you. Then he opened the temple door in person, and a young monk stood at the door of the temple. Take a photo for each visitor, take a group photo and take a single photo. Take five or six shots at a time, both horizontally and vertically, and the composition is stable. Tickets for the glazed light house are 2,000 yen, which is expensive in the temples of Kyoto. However, the Liuguangguangyuan itself is not large, a garden, a main building. There are always many people sitting in front of the window where the garden scenery can be seen. The green reflection picture is produced by two desktops. Many people may be disappointed. I remembered giving a small bag when I bought the ticket, which contained pen and paper for copying. Sit down, unscrew the lamp, and start copying. It is accurate to say that the Japanese are in the process of writing. In the face of Chinese characters, I don't need to expand, just write it. One page down, the heart is quiet. In the hall, the old monks personally wrote Zhu Yin to the tourists. The time is already a peace. After a while, the voice of the chanting was heard, deeply penetrated, and it was still the ear. Last year, the spring and summer rewards of Liuliguangyuan ended on 6.15, and this year was extended to 6.30 days. Today, Yixi girl told me that I must go. Double lucky stacking, you can see this piece of green, experience the daily life of this small temple in the forest. I can still see that I am trying my best. Tickets: 2000 yen opening time: 10 am, try to go early. After June 30 this year, I will not open the door. It is autumn when I open the door again.

The sun in the mountains always falls earlier. day is already dark. Liuliguangyuan needs to make an appointment for lighting, and the passenger flow is limited. There are only 200 people a day. Therefore, there are almost no idlers on this road. The time to wander is to see the lights. The name of the glazed light house is good, and it coincides with the "fixed makeup photo". Liuguangyuan is a temple converted from a villa in Kyoto. In the pattern, it is the mini version of the half-mountain temple. The theme is this villa, two floors up and down, it seems to have entered the home. It is only open twice a year in the new green and red leaf seasons. However, the mereness of this short opening is enough to make a whole year. Because it is rare to see, it is precious. People who come a long way ago are only one of Kyoto's most famous "bed reflections". The second floor and the surrounding area are tall ancient maple trees, surrounded by branches and leaves, the color is red, green and yellow, very rich. The indoor light is extinguished, the night outside the window is dark, and the light is shining, the maple leaves are dyed with a color. A dark lacquered table in front of the window, light can be seen, reflecting the reflection of the maple tree outside the window. Tables, mirrors, light, and galleryes, several compositional spaces separate reality and dreams.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liuliguangyuan is a "heavy" class. Open only two seasons in spring and autumn each year, it is definitely the most popular one in Kyoto. It is also possible that things are rare, and the number of people who flow is limited to 200 people per day. Even if the ticket has already reached 7,000 yen/person, it is still difficult to find a ticket forever. The predecessor of Liguangguangyuan is a villa built during the Meiji period. The quaint wooden door is simple and low-key. Fortunately, there is a plaque with the words "Liuguangguangyuan" hanging outside the door. Otherwise, it will be regarded as being accidentally. Missed by the residence of a large family. Where into it, the mossy stone road is rugged, and the elegant courtyard of that step is exquisitely exquisite. Upgrading to the second floor of the traditional house, the net red wooden table is in sight. The dim light in the house makes the night maple outside the window more gorgeous against the light. Sitting at the square table, close the camera to the table, and a standard glazed light ID card is easy to get. The maple leaf that is turning red makes the window from left to right gradually turn into a crisp new green from the rich red, just like the palette that God overturned. The beauty is intoxicating.

This is the place where Japan is best suited to see the red leaves in the legend - the Liuliguangyuan, a place that has only been opened in recent years. Many people still don't know. When we went, the red leaves were not red, they were beautiful, and the autumn should be more beautiful. Really quiet place, imagine what the red leaves will look like!

The hungry method, which is especially open in the spring and autumn, plus the fascinating counter-reflection effect of Ukiyo-e, makes it the first place in Kyoto temple tickets. The scale of the private sector is too many, and the viewing is greatly reduced. When you visit the room, you can get a plastic bag to pick up your shoes.

The most famous temple in Japan must have a glazed light house. After went, five stars are recommended. Japanese-style classic architecture, stream water, tree-lined, birds and flowers ~ sit in front of the window, savoring life, feeling life. Liuguangguangyuan is only open twice a year for visitors to visit, the new green of spring and the maple red of autumn. Tickets cost 2,000 yen, which will be given a signature pen, copybook copybook, etc., far from the city, you need to change to the bus.

Somehow, the Liuliguangyuan fired up overnight, and it took a few years for a fire. Maybe because a photographer accidentally photographed the red leaves reflected by the mirror table, so the Liuguangguangyuan began to be well known, so that it is impossible to buy tickets at night. I didnt know that Liuliguangyuan was so hot at the beginning. When I went to 3 pm, I was told that the ticket had been sold out. At the entrance, I didnt see it in other places except at Dongfu Temple. However, it is also possible that the temple itself is not too crowded. The second time I learned to be smart, I got up at 5 o'clock before 7 o'clock, and smoothly entered the top ten. The red leaf season will be earlier than the official website opening time, and I will enter the temple at 9 o'clock. In fact, the experience is to tell the truth, there are not many unpopular niche attractions, because people really want more than two you want to flash quickly, but it can be regarded as a place where the net red attractions will be punched once ~ the scenery is still very beautiful.
