The best times to visit are in autumn (late November to early December) for the colorful leaves and in spring (March to April) when the cherry blossoms bloom. Each season offers a unique view of the temple and its surroundings.
You can take a bus from Kyoto Station to get to the temple, which takes about an hour. From the nearest bus stop, there’s a short uphill walk to reach the temple.
The temple has a series of scenic walking paths that wind through its gardens and forested areas. These paths are great for leisurely strolls and exploring the temple grounds, but they can be steep in some areas.
Absolutely! The combination of traditional architecture, seasonal flowers, vibrant foliage, and panoramic views makes it an ideal spot for photographers. The unique Yuryu-no-Matsu tree is also a popular subject for pictures.
