【Kyoto】Top Autumn Foliage Spots! Exploring Kyoto's Famous Locations①

When it comes to famous autumn foliage spots, Kyoto is the place to be✨
Let me introduce the autumn foliage spots I visited in Kyoto!

Since there's a lot to share, I'll divide it into two posts: Part 1 and Part 2.

Here’s Part 1🍁

Photos ①②: Komyo-ji Temple
Located in Nagaokakyo City, this is a well-known spot. I went quite early in the morning to avoid the crowds, but it was still quite busy😅
As expected, famous spots attract many visitors!
I tried to capture photos during relatively less crowded moments📸
The gate area (Photo ①) is an especially iconic spot for autumn foliage.

Photos ③④⑤⑥: Kitano Tenmangu Shrine
The Momiji-en (Maple Garden) at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine was also breathtaking!!
If you visit in late autumn, you'll be amazed by the carpet of fallen leaves. The ground covered entirely in red leaves is a sight to behold😌

Although it gets crowded during the autumn season, try to visit during less busy times or early in the morning (highly recommended) to enjoy the scenery😊
