Eikando (Zenrinji), known as "Eikando of Maple Leaves," is one of Kyoto's most famous spots for autumn leaves.
But in fact, the fresh greenery of spring, the green leaves of summer, and the snowy scenery of winter are also beautiful, making it a soothing spot to visit throughout the year✨
When you enter the temple grounds, you will find yourself stopping in your tracks at the beauty of the garden spreading out in silence and the trees reflected in the pond.
The principal image, "Looking Back Amida Nyorai," is impressive as it gently looks back, and is a presence that gently embraces your heart.
During the autumn leaves season, the temple is lit up, creating a fantastical world🍂
If you visit as a couple, it's a romantic time to share quiet time.
If you're traveling alone, you can spend some "personal time" to calm your mind.
It's also popular with tourists from overseas, and is a place where you can feel the beauty and tranquility of Japan🌍
📍Access
About a 15-minute walk from Keage Station on the Tozai Subway Line.
Take the city bus from Kyoto Station and get off at "Nanzenji-Eikandomichi" and walk for about 5 minutes.
Eikandom is not just a spot to see autumn leaves, but a "healing temple" that is close to your heart.
If you visit Kyoto, be sure to visit this world of silence and color 🍁✨
