I have heard of your name for a long time and can't wait to make a pilgrimage to see this sea of ​​​​flaming red maple leaves. 🍁On the way to Tofuku-ji Temple, there are many fiery red maple leaves, attracting tourists to stop and take pictures, but little do they know that this is just the appetizer! As soon as I stepped into the temple, I was surprised by the red I saw. Maple leaves are at their most beautiful season, bright red, as if a confession to late autumn! As the breeze blows, maple leaves dance gracefully and fall down to form an ochre-red carpet, which is fascinating! 🍁The Tongtian Bridge in the temple is even more quaint. The wooden bridge and the surrounding maple leaves complement each other and look beautiful no matter how you take pictures of it. The beautiful scenery attracts a large number of tourists who fill the entire Tongtian Bridge. If you want to take beautiful photos, you have to reserve a spot carefully! Walk slowly along the trail, every place is a perfect frame for taking pictures. 🍁After shopping, find a small shop to sit down and have some Japanese snacks. The small maple leaf fish plate is super cute! Savoring the maple leaves while tasting delicious food, what more could you ask for in life! If you also like maple leaves, don’t miss the maple leaf season at Higashi Honganji Temple, you’ll definitely linger there! 💲Tofukuji Temple is free to visit, Tsutenkyo Bridge ticket is 600 yen

#2024 TRAVEL REVIEW #Kyoto Scenery of Maple #Tongtianqiao #You must go once in your life In my mind, Kiyomizudera Temple has never been the most crowded place for viewing maples. Of course, the crowds at Eikanji and Tofukuji Temple are not to be underestimated. However, in terms of traffic and overall experience, Tofukuji Temple is still the number one spot in the urban area for viewing maples in my mind. First echelon❤️ 🌟Normally admission is free, but during the maple season it costs 600 yen. Personally, I like the red maples in the background. The embellishment of the temple courtyard and bridge is not boring and has a long lasting aftertaste. If you are lucky enough to encounter a red maple, you will be really impressed when you see it with your own eyes. Unstoppable😍 🌟The Tongtian Bridge is spectacular and surrounded by layers of red maples (it would be better if there were no people 😂), and the light and shadow are even more beautiful. Thanks to the good weather in Kyoto, it once again left me with beautiful memories💕

#Maple viewing #100 ways to travel #Tofuku-ji Temple #Kiyomizu-dera Temple #Eikan-do Temple I forgot who recommended it to me, but the top 1 spot for viewing fall foliage in Kyoto is not Eikan-do Temple in Kiyomizu Temple, but Tofuku-ji Temple which is a little unpopular (I thought). I decided to visit Tofuku-ji Temple for my first time viewing fall foliage, and it was so beautiful that I couldn’t forget it 💕 🌟The most recommended and worthwhile place to buy a ticket here is the Tongtian Bridge! Walking across the bridge, there was a sea of ​​red on both sides. It turned out that the scene of "Tongtian Bridge on Fire" was real! ! There is a relatively low maple forest at the entrance. It is sunny and takes pictures with the temple. It is also super photogenic. I saw a little red maple fatigue at the back. 😅 🌟There is no secret to the tour strategy. Just follow the surging crowd of tourists after entering the gate and move forward without being able to see everything. Although there are many people, the queue is very orderly and not crowded. I remember that I could see yellow ginkgo (a little unsure) ~ The overall color is colorful, yellow, red, green and green, so beautiful🥰 ✔️Then I'll put a picture of the red maple leaves at Kiyomizu Temple for comparison ✔️The maple leaves at Eikan-ji Temple are also beautiful at night, but the photos are a bit poor 📍15-778 Honmachi, Higashiyama District, Kyoto City (1 stop on the Nara Line from Platform 8 at JR Kyoto Station, then 8 minutes’ walk from the station) Opening hours: 8:30-16:00; Tickets: Tsutenkyo Bridge + Kaisando 600 yen/person, Honbo Garden 500 yen/person~

#fallcolors • This is an unexpected surprise. It was originally on the way. The itinerary of Inari Taisha Shrine, but after arriving at Tofuku-ji Temple, I really feel that it is not in vain to come here. It is worthy of one of the famous maple viewing meccas in Kyoto. Personally, I feel that it is the most beautiful maple viewing spots on the whole journey. You still have to walk a long way to get off JR Tofukuji Temple, but the scenery on the roadside is also very beautiful. The scattered maple trees on the roadside are scattered on the ground. The branches and leaves occasionally exposed in the corner of the wall will pass by a The small bridge gallery is the beginning of the maple viewing tour from here. In the distance is the overpass, which is the signature point of Dongfu Temple and the best maple viewing spot. Entering the gate is a sharp contrast between the combination of green leaf ten white stone road + black and white buildings and the red, orange and yellow maple leaf forest seen in the courtyard after buying the ticket. If you want to enjoy maple leaves, you can only buy a package of courtyard ten overpasses: The overpass is a long maple forest road to a high place. Looking around, it is full of maple leaves. Under the blue sky, more beautiful photos can't show this kind of scenery.

During the autumn foliage season, depending on the time of day, the road to Tofukuji Temple is so crowded with people that you can't go through, and even if you do manage to get in, you'll have to be jostled by people to see the autumn leaves...I read a report in advance that said this, so I headed to Tofukuji Temple first thing in the morning! I've been there in the summer as well, and when I headed there first thing in the morning, the roads were not crowded, just like in the summer! When I entered the area where you can see the autumn leaves (Tsūtenkyo Bridge), there were already a lot of tourists there. But it was still at a level where I could enjoy the view at my own pace! I recommend going early in the morning! The autumn leaves that cover the vast grounds are truly overwhelming!

I went to Tofukuji Temple when the green leaves and hydrangeas are beautiful. This place is famous for its spectacular autumn leaves, and it gets very crowded in the fall. When I went there in early summer, it was relatively empty, so I was able to enjoy the view at my own pace. There are three bridges over the river at Tofukuji Temple, called Gaunkyo, Tsutenkyo, and Engetsukyo. They are also known as the "Three Famous Bridges of Tofukuji Temple." Of these, Tsutenkyo is the most photogenic of the three bridges😊 The view is great, so be sure to cross it❣️ Access: 778 Honmachi 15-chome, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture (10 minutes walk from Tofukuji Station) #Kyoto #Temples and Shrines #Temples and Shrines #Tofukuji Temple #Western Japan

My absolute favorite temple is Tofukuji. No matter how many times I go, I'm always fascinated by it. When you visit wearing a kimono, the scenery and atmosphere change as well. It's easy to access by bus or train, and I like to stroll around there first thing in the morning when there aren't many people around. #Kyoto #Tofukuji #Kimono #Japanese clothing #Furisode #Supporting tourism

Kyoto is one of the best place of Autumn leaf spot. Feeling so much calm and relax to stay in the Japanes temples.

I went to various places in Kyoto to enjoy the famous maples, famous and niche, but there is only one of the first resorts in Kyoto, Dongfu Temple. Tungfu Temple is the largest Zen temple in Kyoto, named after Nara Todai-ji Temple and Kofuku-ji Temple. This place is one of the most popular spots for viewing autumn leaves in Kyoto. Every autumn, visitors are constantly coming. Tungfu Temple is a popular spot in the red leaf season, very close to Fushimi Inari Temple, so there are many tourists. From the tram, you can see the crowds of people. The ladies and sisters wearing kimonos are happy to buy specialties and snacks. Although I have gone to many monasteries in the past few days, only Dongfu Temple has made me feel like a crowd. When you get out of the subway, you have to go a long way. The most famous ones on this road are these lovely little Buddhas. Stepping into Dongfu Temple first has to pass a wooden bridge. This angle is the very famous red leaf scenery of Dongfu Temple. However, when I arrived, I have already withered. After a few days of actual shooting, I summed up a rule: the red leaves are red from the canopy, and the leaves are the first to fall. When the red is red, it is still green. When it is red, it has already fallen. For my late-night players, the scenery from the top down is basically not good, they are all scorpions, but they are still good from the bottom up. Tongfu Temple's famous Tongtianqiao and Abbot's Courtyard are all charged separately. Once inside, it is full of grand red leaves, and there is a feeling of covering the sky, which also reflects the conclusion that the red leaves are still perfect from below. Haha. This area is blocked by a fence, so it is very crowded, and it is impossible to shoot portraits. You can only look up and watch the light and shadow of the red leaves. Transportation Get off at "Tokyoji Station" on "JR Nara Line" or "Keihan Main Line" and walk for 10 minutes tickets tickets

#aprilblooms At the home temple of the Rinzai sect's Tofuku-ji school, the regent Kujo Michike applied for the construction of a Buddhist temple with Shoichi Kokushi as the founder, and completed the Shichido Garan in 1255 from 1236 to 19 years. It is also one of the five mountains of Kyoto. Since its founding, it has been subjected to several fires, and the current mountain gate was rebuilt in 1425, and is known as the oldest existing mountain gate in Japan. It was designated as a national treasure in 1952 and boasts a height of 22 metres.

Tofuku-ji Temple is a famous Zen temple in Kyoto, renowned for its magnificent gardens and ancient architecture. The green leaves here support every corner, creating a vibrant atmosphere, making people feel as if they are in a quiet painting. The temple's gardens are exquisitely designed, with each season changing in its own unique way. In spring, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the pink petals fall in the wind, like a dream; in summer, the dense green leaves make people feel the vitality of life; in autumn, the maple leaves are in full swing, and the golden and red colors are interwoven into a gorgeous picture; in winter, the snow-covered scene shows another kind of quiet beauty. Every season here interprets the vitality of nature, which is fascinating. The architectural style of Tofuku-ji Temple is also very distinctive, especially its Main Hall and Tsutenkyo Bridge. The Main Hall houses a Buddha statue, and the surrounding decorations and murals showcase exquisite craftsmanship. Tsutenkaku is the best place to view the garden. Standing on the bridge, you can overlook the entire garden and feel the magnificence and harmony of nature. Here, you can calm down and feel the breath of life around you. Walking on the quiet path, hearing the singing of birds and seeing the swaying green leaves, all the worries seem to disappear. This is not only a tourist attraction, but also a spiritual haven. Many tourists choose to sit quietly, meditate, and communicate with nature at Tofuku-ji Temple. In this green land, you can put aside your busy life and rediscover your inner peace. Tofukuji Temple is not only a temple, but also a place for people to reflect on life and appreciate nature. Here, you will understand that the power of life comes from the cycle and harmony of nature. Every inch of land supported by green leaves is a symbol of life, reminding us to cherish the present and feel the beauty of life. In short, Tofukuji Temple has become a spiritual home for people with its unique natural scenery and profound cultural heritage. #MarchGoodPlaces2025
