I want to visit again in autumn! Eikando Zenrin-ji Temple in Kyoto.

A place in Kyoto I hadn't visited yet: Eikando Zenrin-ji Temple. Founded in 853 as a training hall for Shingon Esoteric Buddhism, it is now the head temple of the Jodo sect's Seizan Zenrin-ji branch. It has been famous for its autumn foliage for a long time, so much so that it is known as 'Eikando of the autumn leaves.' The green maple leaves were also very beautiful. It is also famous for its principal image, the standing statue of Amida Nyorai, known as Mikaeri Amida, which attracts many visitors from overseas. 📍Location: 48 Eikando-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture 🕰️Visiting hours: [Regular visit] 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Last admission at 4:00 PM) 💰Admission fee: Adults 600 yen, Elementary to High School students 400 yen
