#fallcolors #100waysoftravel #japan Visiting Kodaiji Temple during the autumn season is a breathtaking experience. The vibrant fall colors transform the landscape into a stunning tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows, perfectly complementing the temple's serene architecture. The contrast of the brilliant foliage against the ancient wooden structures creates a picturesque scene that feels almost ethereal. Kodaiji Temple, steeped in history and culture, was founded in 1606 by the powerful Hosokawa family. Its beautifully manicured gardens, designed to reflect the changing seasons, are particularly enchanting in autumn. As you stroll through the grounds, the crisp air and rustling leaves enhance the temple's tranquil ambiance.

It’s a perfect spot for those seeking to immerse themselves in both nature and Japanese culture, making it a must-visit during the autumn season. #temple #autumn #park #holiday #awesomepic

There is a Restoration Road at Ninenzaka near Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, and also near Kodai-ji Temple. Going up further, you will find the Reiyama Gokoku Shrine, where the tomb of Sakamoto Ryoma is located. I don't know much about Sakamoto Ryoma's story. I only know that he was one of the historical figures who promoted the so-called "Restoration of Imperial Rule" that returned the rule of the Japanese samurai to the emperor. Because of historical novels and TV dramas, in recent years people have been promoting the tourism industry by using scenes of events involving historical figures. The Japanese are very good at marketing strategies. That day, I walked on the path of reform again. I had been here before and saw the sign for the Dragon Horse Tomb, and I wanted to go and see it that day. But as it was getting close to dusk that day, I messaged my colleague at Kyoto-Tong and she told me that it was completely cloudy there! In fact, she had never been there. That day, it was around 1pm in the afternoon and I decided to go to the Longma Tomb. When you enter Lingshan Gokoku Shrine, you will find a tomb where soldiers who died for their country are buried. To visit the Ryoma Tomb, you need to pay an entrance fee of 300 yen. At that time, I was the only one who went in. I walked along the stairs and found that there were many Japanese cemeteries. To be honest, it was quite eerie. There were some monuments next to them that should have been from World War II, but I didn’t look at them much and went straight to Ryoma’s Tomb. I didn't know I had arrived until I saw the sign for Longma Tomb. I don’t know if it’s because it’s been too long, but the words on the tombstone are a little unclear. I need to look at the signboard next to it to know which Ryoma Tomb it is. There are also bronze statues of Ryoma and Shintaro Nakaoka next to the tomb. Standing in front of Ryoma's tomb and looking at the scenery of Kyoto I remembered a passage from Ryotaro Shiba's "Ryoma Journey" in the book "The Journey of Ryoma" by Ken Koto. "In order to clean up the historical chaos of this country, the heavens sent this young man to the earth. When his mission was completed, he was summoned back to heaven without regret. That night, the sky of Kyoto was covered with rain clouds and the stars were hidden. However, the times have changed. The young man used his hands to open the door of history and open the future." After the worship, I returned to the entrance gate and bought an amulet with the image of Ryoma and the words "Shishou" printed on it as a commemoration of Ryoma's tomb. That’s right! That day I told my friend that I went to see Sakamoto Ryoma's tomb, and she replied to me, "Didn't he just pass away, so how could there be a tomb?" I said it was Sakamoto Ryoma, not Sakamoto Ryuichi😂 #JapanWanderingTravel #TravelMemories #SakamotoRyoma #100 Ways to Travel #100 Ways to Travel

#2024wish #awesomepic #couplestrip #temple #kyoto #decembertrip #autumnwinter #kodaiji Kodaiji is a famous temple that located in Kyoto established by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wife in the year of 1606 to pray for him. If you are visiting to the Kiyomizudera temple, highly recommend to arrange the place in the same itinerary day as it is very near to each other. During autumn season, it’s a MUST x 3 to come here as the landscapes inside and the maple leaves that surrounded will definitely amaze you!!! Entrance fee: JPY 600 per adult Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In 2024, I wish to visit to Perth, Australia.

We visited Kyoto prefecture for a day trip and we saw several places: Byōdō-in Buddhist Temple in Uji City followed by Tea Ceremony (Chanoyu) at Uji's Taihoan Tea House and Fushimi Inari Shrine. We also went to the Japanese tea production where they made the tea in traditional way as well as the roasting unit which make unique and rich tea flavor. In the evening we enjoyed a traditional Japanese dinner at Kodaiji Hashiba. #2023travelwish

A day in Kyoto is a journey through history and beauty. Start at Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, where towering stalks create a serene, dreamlike atmosphere. Nearby, Togetsukyo Bridge offers stunning river and mountain views. Next, visit Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion, shimmering over its peaceful pond. Then, explore Nishiki Market for fresh sushi, matcha sweets, and local delicacies. In the afternoon, walk through the endless vermillion torii gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha, a breathtaking and spiritual experience. End the day in Gion, where lantern-lit streets capture Kyoto’s old-world charm. If lucky, you might even spot a graceful geisha. #japan #kyoto #trip #travel

My dears, Kyoto's Kodaiji Temple is really worth a visit! Kodaiji Temple is hidden in the ancient charm of Kyoto and is full of unique charm. As you step into the temple, the simple and ancient architecture instantly brings you back to the distant past. The main hall and ancillary buildings here can be visited for only twenty or thirty yuan, which is really worth it! The architecture is as exquisite as those in popular scenic spots, and there are relatively few tourists, so you can fully experience the tranquility. Kodaiji Temple is located at a high altitude, and the view from there overlooking the surrounding scenery is amazing! Compared to the crowded Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, you can enjoy a more relaxing time here. You can also ask for goshuin in the main hall and some buildings in the temple, and they are all handwritten on the spot, which is very commemorative. When I went there, I happened to see the sign for Kodaiji Temple on the way from Kiyomizu Temple to Yasaka Shrine, so I walked in. Unexpectedly, I gained a lot. If you come to Kyoto, don’t forget to visit Kodaiji Temple and feel its tranquility and beauty. #京都旅游 #高代寺 #日本京都 #古寺美

This country is where flowers love spring. 🎶A classic and beautiful Japanese song "Flower Banquet" kicks off a romantic trip to Japan. Here is a guide to a one-day tour of Kyoto's most classic route! 🔷🔷🔷My Kyoto one-day tour guide: 🚗Transportation: Take JR from Osaka to Kyoto Station in half an hour 🏨Accommodation: Yamato Roynet Select Hotel - Kyoto Hachijo TERRACE 5 minutes walk from Kyoto Station 🗺️Kyoto one-day tour itinerary: ⏰Morning - Tofukuji Temple (one stop from Kyoto Station by JR) 🕐Afternoon - Kiyomizu Temple - Ninenzaka Sannenzaka - Kodaiji Temple (the distance between the two attractions is about 15 minutes walk) 💎Attractions: 📍Tofukuji Temple: Every season has its own unique beauty! The cherry blossom and maple leaf seasons are particularly outstanding. During the maple leaf season, you can see the maple leaves of the entire courtyard from its sky bridge, which is really amazing! Its Abbot's Courtyard is also not to be missed. It is most famous for being surrounded by eight themed courtyards in the east, south, west and north, with a different view on each side. 📍 Kiyomizu Temple: A must-see attraction in Kyoto! It is also the oldest temple in Kyoto and a world cultural heritage site. The red triple-story tower is its most symbolic building. Walking further in is the "Kishimizu Stage", the same check-in spot as Conan. You can overlook the stage and see the entire area in red during the maple leaf season, which is very beautiful! 📍Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka: the most famous commercial street in Kyoto. The whole street is made up of ancient Japanese buildings. Each store has its own characteristics. You can shop and eat all the way! 📍Kodaiji Temple: Although it is very close to Kiyomizu Temple, it is far less popular than Kiyomizu Temple, but it is very beautiful during the cherry blossom and maple leaf season every year! There are few people here, which is very suitable for taking photos. During the maple leaf season, there is also a night light show, which is very unique! 📌Tips: 1️⃣Before entering Tofukuji Temple, don’t miss the Wakuun Bridge, which overlooks Tofukuji Temple opposite and is very suitable for taking photos! Every year during the maple season, you need to queue for one to half an hour to enter the Tsutenkaku Bridge in Tofukuji Temple, so you need to leave more time. 2️⃣ There are many restaurants and specialties available for purchase in Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka. You can choose lunch here, and there is also a very unique Starbucks with Japanese architectural style to check in!

I recently traveled to Japan, making a stop in Kyoto to explore the land of temples and shrines. After spending time in Kyoto’s key neighborhoods, I learned the city’s wards are quite different from one another and not every neighborhood embodies the traditional aesthetic. I recommend the Nakagyo ward for first-time visitors. This neighborhood is conveniently located near the city center. Attractions are all around and there are a range of accommodations

#getgoing2025 If you ever get the chance to see Kodaiji Temple’s night illumination, do it. I went on a whim and was completely blown away by how stunning the temple looked all lit up. The gardens, the pond, the trees—it all glows in this soft, ethereal light. There’s something so peaceful about walking through the temple grounds at night, and the whole experience felt like stepping into another world. It’s a side of Kyoto you won’t see during the day, and it’s absolutely worth the visit. 📍Kodaiji Temple, Kyoto, Japan #kyoto #japan #temple #nightillumination

As the sun dipped below Kyoto’s horizon, Kodaiji Temple transformed into a mesmerizing nocturnal wonder. The temple’s illuminated gardens shimmered with reflections from carefully placed lights, creating an ethereal glow against the night sky. Pathways lined with bamboo and traditional lanterns guided us deeper into this historic treasure, each step immersing us in an atmosphere of tranquil beauty. The faint murmur of water from the koi ponds added to the serene ambiance, making the temple feel like a living painting from Japan’s rich past. At night, Kodaiji reveals a magic unseen during the day. The elegant architecture, enhanced by subtle lighting, showcased every detail of its craftsmanship, while the surrounding trees seemed to dance in the breeze under a canopy of stars. Inside, the softly glowing interiors invited moments of quiet reflection. Visiting Kodaiji Temple after dark was not just an exploration—it was a journey into Kyoto’s soul, where history, artistry, and spirituality intertwine seamlessly under the night sky. #magicalxmastrip #travel #couplestrip

You may not have heard of Entoku-ji, but you must have heard of Kiyomizu-dera! Entoku-ji is a nationally designated scenic spot located near Kiyomizu-dera. After visiting Kiyomizu-dera in the morning, I passed by Entoku-ji and decided to go in because it was very peaceful. Entoku-ji is actually a small temple of Kodaiji, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wife, Kita no Mandokoro Nene, spent her later years. You can see traces of Nene's life, such as the chozubachi (water basin), built in 1606. Kodaiji is also nearby and can be visited together. The dry landscape garden in the northern courtyard showcases Momoyama period culture, with a strolling pond garden structure. The famous tea master, Kobori Enshu, also participated in the garden's construction. This place was also visited by many daimyo and monks of that time. Sitting in these gardens, I felt very peaceful. While sitting for a long time, three Japanese ladies arrived. Before I left, I took pictures of the garden. The scene of them sitting and chatting felt like a Japanese drama! I also copied a few lines of sutras. It was truly a peaceful day! Entoku-ji and Kodaiji combined ticket: 900 yen (includes a small art museum ticket, also nearby)

It was already 6:30 in the evening when we arrived in Kyoto after the plane and train. After putting down our luggage, we decided to arrange a trip to enjoy the maple leaves at night, so that the first day's itinerary would not only be a transfer [Chukle]. This turned out to be a very good decision, because the changes that followed were beyond my expectation. The night maple leaves at Kodaiji Temple are truly amazing. Maybe because there weren’t too many people, it felt better than the legendary Eikan-do. Last year, the queue for admission to the Eikan-do Night Maple Festival lasted nearly an hour. There were people everywhere, and the lighting was not particularly thoughtful. The red leaves blooming at the entrance are particularly charming under the light, attracting people at once. No one would pass by without entering. Last year, I passed by this place after watching the night cherry blossoms at Kiyomizu Temple. The night show had just begun and it was not completely dark yet, so I was not attracted. Timing is really important when traveling. A side trip is always a great addition to any Japanese tour. After a great light and shadow show, we began to move to admire the maple leaves. The reflections by the pond were very beautiful. I took a picture from one side of the pond to the lawn on the right. The window edges of the building as the background were particularly night-like. The most surprising thing is the bamboo forest in the last section, which is so thoughtfully designed to look like a sky full of fireflies. It’s so blingbling and romantic. It instantly surpasses the bamboo forest of Tenryuji Temple in Arashiyama. Drink a cup of matcha with a dango in the teahouse at the exit, sit quietly for a while, and all the previous fatigue will be taken away. Because I was the last guest, I had the whole room to myself. I didn’t expect that this would be the only chance to sit down and drink tea and admire the maple leaves during this one-day trip to Kyoto. This tea house is really nice and you must definitely sit down and appreciate it after the visit.

🍁 The red leaf lighting event has started‼️ Kodaiji Temple in Kyoto is a must-see every year. It was built by Nene, the wife of Hideyoshi, in his memory. Not only is it in a great location🚶 But the dry landscape garden is also unique. The red leaf lighting event, one of the most beautiful in Kyoto, Organically combines various elements. 🚪 The ✅Hoshin Garden✅Chokushi Gate in front of the abbot's quarters Has a different theme of colored projections every year. The red leaves illuminated by the lights are reflected on the water, Making it the most beautiful part of a visit to Kodaiji Temple. The bamboo forest along the way also has light projections💕 Be sure to take a stroll through Entoku-in. There is a tea room at the exit🍵JPY 500 per set.

After experiencing the night maple at Kodaiji Temple, visiting the night maple at Toji Temple offers a different kind of beauty. Following the planned route, you'll be mesmerized by the maple leaves, reflections, and lights as soon as you enter. Although the entrance fee is not cheap, it's definitely worth the visit. Don't just focus on the night maple; the indoor areas are also open at night and are worth checking out.

Thanks to Toji Temple for extending the light-up event until December 10th! Most of Kyoto's autumn foliage night illumination events ended on December 3rd, which left me feeling quite disappointed as I arrived in Kyoto on the 8th. However, just one night at Toji Temple was enough to satisfy me. Although the night view at Kodaiji Temple was beautiful, Toji Temple's grandeur was unmatched. The five-story pagoda alone added layers to the scenery, making me want to exclaim 'wow' throughout my visit. Toji Temple is a symbol of Heian-kyo, which was modeled after Chang'an, so my emotions were mixed with romantic imaginations of the Tang Dynasty's Chang'an. The waterfowl was photographed in the pond in front of the pagoda. I regretted not bringing my camera, as the phone photos didn't do justice to the beauty seen with the naked eye. Besides the night maple leaves, the three-dimensional mandalas in the Kondo and Kodo are worth seeing. Especially during nighttime visits, the dim lighting makes the statues appear more solemn, and the ancient wooden scent in the air adds to the mysterious atmosphere. Whether you understand Esoteric Buddhism or not, you can feel a power that seems to transcend time here. #JapanTravel #KyotoTravel #JapanAutumnFoliage

| Kodai-ji & Daiun-in. Everyone knows about the "Yasaka Shrine, Gion, Kiyomizu-dera" in Kyoto Higashiyama, and a little more, "Kennin-ji". In Higashiyama, there are "Kodai-ji, Daiun-in" sandwiched between them. 🍃 The green leaf slope, courtyard, and bamboo forest of Kodai-ji are all worth seeing, and there are not so many people. The Daiun-in next to it, the "Gionkaku" inside is very beautiful. This is also part of the villa of the founder of the Okura Zaibatsu, Kihachiro Okura, and the famous early Showa architecture designed by the architect, Chuta Ito. It is 36m high and is convenient for watching the Gion Festival. This place was reopened in July this year, and you can visit the interior. There are many murals, but it's a pity that it ends at 9:30, and it closes at 16:00 every day.

🚶 You will definitely pass by here on the way to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. I have to say that Kodaiji Temple has a very advantageous geographical location. Next to it are several bustling streets of Gion🏞️ ✅Ishibei Koji✅Ninenzaka✅Sannenzaka You will see it when you stroll up the hill of Gion. 👨‍🦲 This is a magnificent and tranquil temple🍃 Built by the widow of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in memory of her husband.

#japantrip Every corner of Japan consist of small details that draws out the zen and peaceful elements in the entirety. This temple is located somewhat across a busy street and up the hill. This place WOW me to the max because I could never imagine a temple can be this huge and nice. Kodai-ji Temple is famous for its garden that full of colour tree during Autumn, definitely a recommended place! Psst! The entrance is chargeable and available for purchase online!

I had the fortune to experience an unforgettable night of autumn leaves in Kyoto's Gion. The night here is starkly different from the day; as the sun sets, the streets of Gion are illuminated by soft lights, and the ancient wooden houses and stone-paved roads are bathed in a warm glow of light and shadow. Walking through this historic district, I felt as if I had traveled back to Japan centuries ago. The night maple of Gion is a highlight of the autumn season here. As night falls, the maple leaves become exceptionally enchanting under the light. The red leaves reflect the lights, creating a dazzling tapestry. Walking on the path of night maple, with the gentle breeze and the rustling of dry leaves, it's as if they are telling the story of Gion. This unique atmosphere is calming and makes one forget the hustle and bustle of the city. I especially recommend the maple viewing spot of Kodaiji Temple in Gion. The garden design here is exquisite, and the lights at night reflect the maple leaves on the water surface, creating a dreamlike scene. There's also the Minami-dori along Shirakawa, where you can walk along the river, with maple trees on both sides and ancient teahouses reflecting each other, making it a place where one lingers and forgets to return. If you also love the beauty of nature and the simplicity of culture, then the night maple of Gion is something you can't miss. It's a place where one can completely relax and immerse in the beautiful scenery. I look forward to coming here again to experience more of the changing seasons.

If you want to enjoy cherry blossoms in Kyoto, in addition to going to Kodaiji Temple, the cherry blossoms around Kodaiji Temple are also very beautiful. The surroundings are all ancient buildings in Kyoto. It’s beautiful to take pictures at dusk when the sky is clear and clear. There are also rickshaws carrying tourists. Coming and going, you can feel the ancient atmosphere of Kyoto. #Japanese and Korean Spring Good Places

Kodai-ji Temple is the first attraction in Kyoto to open for nighttime viewing of maple leaves and light shows. The temperature now is cool but not too cold, which is just right for night tours. Although the maple leaves are only a little red, they will be more beautiful in late November or early December. In addition to the beautiful night view lights, there is also a wonderful light show. The light show in the hall lasts about three minutes and is repeated continuously. You must take off your shoes when entering the hall.

It is a Zen Buddhist temple located in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto. I love the place because it is quite and the area is huge. They have small traditional huts, and a traditional covered walkway that crosses small ponds. A really an interesting and great place. I was also shocked to see a concrete head of a dragon at a random sight. For ¥600, you already have a 1-day pass of the place. #wintergetaway

Japan|Photographing super beautiful vibrating sleeves and clothes, how to shoot no one in the cherry blossom season h How can I miss the beautiful kimono photos in Japan, and share some little experience of sakura season kimonos. kimono selection: Sakura season, we recommend that you choose a sleeve kimono, which is a formal kimono worn by Japanese women on important occasions. It is equivalent to a dress in a kimono, so it is much better whether it is a fabric. It takes more than 40 minutes for a set to be worn. For a thin girl, there will be a lot of towels inside, and the waist can't bend. If you travel to Japan in the summer, it is not recommended to wear this. Too hot will definitely heatstroke. Makeup is painted by myself, add money to make hair, rent a small bag, photos are taken by myself. It is recommended that girls who do not take photos can book a photographer. After all, it is rare to wear them once, but they are still tired and worthy of leaving a beautiful photo. Shooting route selection: We have chosen the route of Kiyomizu-Seoul-Kota-ji Temple. The sights here are basically walking away, and there are many people in the kimono dressing up. It doesn't feel too awkward. Wearing a vibrating sleeve kimono and walking fast is not far away, returning the kimono from 12 noon to 6 pm. Sakura season shot no ones: 1 Don't crowd people on the main road. There are some characteristics of popular Japanese attractions, and there are many people on the main road. But when you go to the path next to you, you will lose more than half of the people, but the scenery will not be discounted. 2 Rational use of photographic equipment. The telephoto lens, first of all, can be blurred in the background, and the second viewing angle is narrow, which can prevent the crowd from appearing in the lens. 35 or 50 large aperture lens, the viewfinder is wider, but it can blur the background very well.

Because I don't want to be limited by the restriction of booking dinner, although I know that the restaurant around Shiping Xiaolu usually needs an appointment, but I am still prepared to buy a store, it is better to hit the store. After nearly failed the store, it is nearly 9 o'clock, hungry. Prepare for the convenience of the supermarket and walk to the side of the Gaotai Temple and Chuanchuan, which is located in the traditional dwellings. It coincides with the chefs enthusiasm for the guests, and hes greeting with the chef and asked if he can Did you eat? The chef hesitated and said, "Yes, but you can't order, I will eat if you do." So I am happy to enter the store, the store is very small, it is estimated that it will accommodate more than ten diners at most, so I started the chef and my late night cafeteria. The chef is also the owner of the village, Zhongcun Jun, in the bar, I am outside the bar. Along the way, I chatted about food, talked about the experience of making a living, talked about my dreams, talked about my hometown, 11 meals, match it, and there are many amazing things until near midnight. Although the talk was very strong, but still can not bear to continue to disturb, resigned out of the store, Nakamura was sent out, and after strolling out of the tens of meters, he did not intend to look back, found that he still stood at the door and looked at me and walked away. I tried to wave to him and shouted loudly: "Please come back, the night is cold." The sound broke the quiet night, then turned and turned into the stone screen, and went around to stay.
