Jojakkoji Temple
Jojakko-ji Temple: This is a temple surrounded by lush greenery located halfway up Mt. Ogura. Many maple trees are planted within the grounds, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of each season. In autumn, the temple becomes especially stunning as the maple leaves turn vibrant shades of red and orange, creating a breathtaking scene. Because it is located on a hill, you can get a panoramic view of the area around Arashiyama, and you can take pictures of the beautiful scenery along with the pagoda.
Okochi Sanso Garden
Okochi Sanso Garden: This is a beautiful garden located in Arashiyama, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling city. The garden is meticulously designed with lush greenery and a variety of plants that provide seasonal beauty, especially in autumn when the maple trees turn vibrant shades of red and orange. From the garden, you can enjoy panoramic views of Kyoto and the surrounding mountains.

A lot to see here. Enormous amount of walking, but well worth it. Very knowledgeable tour guide. Beautiful sites in the autumn.

Osumu was fantastic! He gave us a private tour through Kyoto, showed us the most beautiful temples and the most amazing udon. He also went out of his way to accommodate us and showed us our way back to the station. If you visit Japan, book your tour with Osumu.
