[Go here] A hidden gem! The holy land of that manga that was made into a live-action film. A spot to see autumn leaves lined with expressive arhat statues.

There is a hidden spot for viewing autumn leaves in the area of ​​Sagano, further north from the Arashiyama area! This time, I would like to introduce "Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple" in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto.

It is the starting point of the "Sagano Tour" which takes you around the temples, shrines and famous places around Saga. 🏃♂️And this temple appears in the manga "Rurouni Kenshin" and is a sacred place. 😍

This temple has 1200 stone statues called arhat statues, each with a different expression, which is interesting to look at. 🤣

It is a spot where you can experience a slightly different worldview of autumn leaves, as it has a hall with a structure that you won't see at other temples in Kyoto City!

It is a little on the mountain side, so it is about a week earlier than the autumn leaves spots in the city, but I hope you will visit it during your Kyoto autumn leaves stroll in late November, when the busiest time of the year is off! You can even take a bus right in front of it!

That's it! What do you think? If you want to enjoy autumn leaves without the super crowds, this is a hidden gem, so please come and visit us😆
