Eikando Zenrinji Temple
Often called the “Temple of Autumn Leaves,” Eikando is one of Kyoto’s most celebrated spots for fall foliage. Visitors can stroll through its expansive temple grounds, admire the reflection of crimson maple trees on the pond, and enjoy breathtaking views from the hillside pagoda. The temple’s rich history, dating back to the Heian period, adds cultural depth to the vibrant seasonal scenery.
