Enko-Ji in Rakuhoku, Kyoto, was a famous spot for colored leaves, but in recent years the number of tourists is increasing rapidly! It is said that the fallen leaves, which are called scattered maple and floor maple, are beautiful, and there are many people who visit after they scatter.
In addition, they have stunning sceneries in other seasons. I’ll introduce it, which is so popular, along with pictures of beautiful Enko-Ji.

Welcomed by Japanese rock garden…
First of all, you passed through the gate there and you’ll find Kare Sansui, which is means Japanese traditional rock garden, called “Honryutei garden”. The stone pillar in the rock garden seems to express a dragon. The contrast between sand, trees and the stone garden is stunning.

The main garden named “Jugyu no Niwa” is known for having the oldest pond in Rakuhoku, Kyoto. To enjoy the fall foliage in this garden, sit on the red rug and enjoy views from inside. Many people enjoy the garden with the pillars of the eaves as picture frames, and there are also places where picture frames are open for photography.
