#2024TravelReview #MapleViewing #Kyoto #100TravelWays #AutumnGoodDestination 🍁Kyoto's late autumn is always fascinating, and the maple leaf season at Tofukuji Temple is the best among them! 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.

Kyoto Tofukuji Temple is one of the best places to enjoy fall foliage in Kyoto. It is only one JR stop away from Kyoto Station, or it only takes about 30 minutes by bus. Even if you take the JR from Osaka, it only takes about 40 minutes. The transportation is very convenient. 👍🏼💯 You can enjoy the beautiful red leaves along the road from the entrance of Tofukuji Temple to the end. Although the weather was not as expected and it was the end of the red leaves season, fortunately I was still able to see and photograph the last beauty of the red leaves! 🍁📷😍 #Tofukuji Temple #KyotoFreeTravel #JapanTravel #Halloween2023

Address: 778 Honmachi 15-chome, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City 🚃 10 minutes walk from JR Nara Line "Tofukuji Station" Opening hours: 9:00-16:30 (last admission at 16:00) *8:30- from November to early December, until 16:00 from early December to March Admission fee: 600 yen for Tsutenkyo Bridge (1,000 yen from November 10th to 30th) It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the station to Tofukuji Temple. There are many lodgings and temples on the way there! 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! Tofukuji Temple has a large area, and there are other things to see besides the autumn leaves. #KyotoTourism #Kyoto #AutumnFoliage #KyotoTrip

As soon as Japan opens its borders in October, the autumn leaves in Kyoto are at their peak in late November, so book a flight to enjoy the autumn scenery as soon as possible. Air tickets to and from Nagoya Airport are cheaper and still quiet. It costs more than 5,000 yen to take the JR to Kyoto. Day 1: Arashiyama, go to Nijo Castle to watch the light show at night Day 2: Ginkakuji Temple -> Philosopher's Path -> Eikan-do Temple -> Nanzenji Temple Day 3: Kiyomizu Temple -> Tofukuji Temple Autumn is in full swing, and sunny or rainy days each have their own charm, sweeping away the depression caused by the epidemic. #kyoto #autumnleaves

Tofukuji Temple in the Higashiyama area is famous for its gardens that look like modern art! There are four gardens around the building called "Honbo", called the East Garden, West Garden, South Garden, and North Garden. Each of the four gardens has a different look, and no matter where you look, it's a picturesque garden.

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

Visited on 11/18 When asked what to do in Kyoto when it comes to autumn leaves, many people think of Tofukuji Temple. It was my first time seeing it, but the autumn leaves were spectacular🍁 I went there first thing in the morning, so the sun hadn't yet risen and it was difficult to take photos, but it was very quiet, so I was able to look around at my leisure😊 It's also close to Kyoto Station, so it's recommended for the first or last day of your trip✨ *Tofukuji Temple 778 Honmachi 15-chome, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 605-0981 (1) 15 minutes by city bus from JR Kyoto Station (2) 10 minutes on foot from Tofukuji Station on the JR Nara Line and Keihan Main Line #Breathtaking view #Kyoto #Autumn leaves #Kyoto autumn leaves #Tofukuji Temple

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

#summervacay After exploring Fushimi Inari, we headed to nearby Tofukuji Temple, renowned for its stunning architecture. Our group of 7 took two taxis, but in a comedic mishap, we were dropped off at different gates, sparking a fun reunion. With limited time, we explored the temple grounds, skipping the Tsutenkyo bridge and Hijo garden. The highlight was the breathtaking Sanmon gate, with its impressive architecture leaving a lasting impression.#kyototemples #travel #kyoto
