The shrine occupies a large area and is built along the mountain. There are tall maple trees on both sides of the main shrine of Nishimotogu Shrine. In late autumn, the red clouds look like fire, complementing traditional buildings such as torii gates and shrines, and the scenery is not inferior to any other in Kyoto. What’s even more rare about this famous spot for autumn viewing is that it’s relatively not too crowded. In addition to viewing the maples, the small bridges and flowing water created by the natural landscape are also a major feature of the shrine.
