🍃 Kyoto Serenity: Rurikoin Temple

#hellohalloween

Nestled in the quiet hills of Kyoto’s Sakyo Ward, Rurikoin is a place that truly takes your breath away. Known for its mesmerizing reflections — maple leaves mirrored perfectly on polished wooden floors — this temple transforms with each season, offering a different kind of beauty every time.

While the green maple leaves were stunning this visit, what captured my heart even more was the lush moss carpeting the garden. Soft, velvety, and glistening with morning dew, it felt like stepping into a living painting. The stillness, the filtered light, and the sound of rustling leaves create a meditative calm that lingers long after you leave.

If you visit Kyoto, don’t rush through — take a moment here to slow down and simply breathe.
