🍁 Jōjakkō-ji Temple – Kyoto’s Peaceful Hillside Retreat

Nestled on the slopes of Mount Ogura in Arashiyama, Jōjakkō-ji Temple (常寂光寺) is a serene hidden gem often overlooked by tourists. 🏞️✨ Surrounded by lush forests and quiet paths, it offers a perfect escape from the crowds of central Kyoto. 🌿🕊️

• Stunning autumn foliage 🍁🍂 – the temple is one of Kyoto’s most beautiful fall spots
• A peaceful bamboo grove 🎋 leading up to the temple grounds
• The iconic thatched-roof gate 🏯, rustic and picturesque
• Stone paths and mossy gardens 🌱 – full of calm and charm
• Panoramic views of Kyoto city from the hillside 🌆🌄
