Tofukuji Temple, Kyoto52 views
|

Tofukuji is a Zen Buddhist temple famous for red maple leaves. Quite spectacular and photogenic landscapes. One of the five great Zen temples of Kyoto. 41 viewsTofukuji temple is the easiest way to see autumn leaves in Kyoto. From Kyoto Station, it's only one train stop (JR Nara Line) away (get off at Tofukuji Station and walk 10 min.). But the trains get sardine-packed in the morning. Expect large crowds during late Nov.

View from Tsutenkyo Bridge, Tofukuji Temple, Kyoto. More pretty views from the bridge. When the sun's out, the colors are spectacular. The colors really look like this, I didn't digitally enhance the colors.30 views

On the bridge, this sign says "No photos" because they don't want people to stop and take photos and hold up the line going through the bridge. 30 viewsObviously, no one paid attention to this. We all stopped and took photos.

The middle of the bridge has this little deck protruding outward.30 views
