Japan🇯🇵Kyoto - Rurikoin Temple, a beautiful maple viewing location🍁

Rurikoin Temple in Kyoto is famous for its beautiful maple leaf reflections and changing garden scenery throughout the seasons. It is a dream destination in the hearts of many travelers. This ancient courtyard, once a private villa for nobles and later a retreat for monks, is now open to the public and showcases the perfect blend of history and natural beauty.

Rurikoin Temple is located in Kamikono Higashiyama, Sakyo District, Kyoto City, Japan. It is a temple that is only open to visit from April to June and October to December every year. Since the Heian period, the "Yase" area has been a favorite health resort for royalty, nobles and samurai. Today, Rurikoin Temple is also one of Kyoto’s autumn foliage hotspots that attracts tourists from all over the world.

Rurikoin Temple is open to visitors only in spring, summer and autumn. The specific schedule is announced on the official website around March, June and September each year. The autumn of 2024 is scheduled to be open from October 1 (Sunday) to December 15 (Sunday).

Liuliguang Temple adopts a reservation system to visit, and you need to make an online reservation in advance on the official website of Liuliguang Temple. There are many people during the autumn maple viewing season, so the number of places to visit is limited. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance to ensure admission. (Note: If the reservation is successful, you need to purchase tickets to enter.) After making the reservation, you will receive a confirmation notification by email. Just go to the site to purchase tickets according to the reservation time!
