In autumn, Kyoto is filled with dazzling autumn foliage. The famous temples and shrines in the Arashiyama and Ohara areas offer particularly spectacular views of the autumn foliage.

Hotel staff will accompany you on the tour, ensuring you can enjoy sightseeing with peace of mind both on the way and at the site.

Luxuriously rent out the World Heritage site "Toji Temple"
Toji Temple's five-story pagoda is the tallest wooden structure in Japan. The combination of the pagoda and the autumn leaves is truly a beautiful sight that embodies the essence of autumn in Kyoto. The three-dimensional mandala of 21 Buddha statues that stands in the lecture hall is also magnificent.

Sanzen-in Temple: A garden known as the jewel box of the Orient
The autumn leaves, set against the cedar groves and green moss, are a sight to behold. The two gardens, with their different atmospheres, have been praised as the "Jewel Box of the Orient," and the highlights include the National Treasure Amida Triad at Ojo Gokuraku-in Temple, as well as the beautiful contrast of the autumn leaves with the mossy greenery of the pond garden, Yusei-en.

Shisen-do: The remains of a charming mountain lodge
This temple is famous as a place where Edo period man of letters, Ishikawa Jozan, spent his later years and where you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons and the unique Japanese atmosphere. The autumn leaves that spread throughout the garden are exceptional, and the deer scaring sound that resonates in the tranquil garden also gives you a uniquely Japanese atmosphere.

"Hogon-in" A famous garden filled with tranquility and beauty
This sub-temple of Tenryuji Temple, the head temple of the temple, is famous for its beautiful autumn foliage. The Shishiku Garden, a strolling garden incorporating the scenery of Arashiyama, is known for its seasonal scenery, and during the autumn foliage season, it captivates people with its overwhelming beauty. The view of the garden from the Shoin study, which is usually closed to the public, will take your breath away.
