<Kyoto Eikan-do> 🇯🇵The Temple of the Maple Queen

#MapleViewing #100TravelWays #Japan #Kyoto #DestinationsInAutumn 🍂Eikan-do Temple, known as the Queen of Maple Leaves, will transform into a sea of ​​​​fiery red maple leaves in late November. Three thousand maple trees compete with each other for beauty. Not only can you see red maples when you look up, but even your feet are covered with a carpet of maple leaves. 🍂In addition to the spectacular sights during the day, the maple leaves at Eikan-do are even more amazing. However, if you want to enjoy this beautiful scenery, you must be prepared to queue (and buy a ticket for the night visit! The temple will clear the area after the daytime visiting time ends). 🍂If you are tired of shopping, you can find a place under the tree to rest for a while. Hot tea and various Japanese snacks are sold on site. The only drawback is that the crowds are a bit too turbulent. Friends who prefer the beauty of tranquility may have to look for other secret places~~ In addition to the famous maple leaves, Eikan-do has many other attractions worth exploring. ⛲Pond and Corridor Garden: Stroll through the garden and admire the beautiful reflections of red leaves in the pond water. ⛩️Release Pond: There is a small island and a shrine in the pond, which is a place where many people like to take pictures. 🛕Dabao Pagoda: Climb up the Dabao Pagoda and overlook the city of Kyoto to experience a unique perspective. 🏯Nearby attractions: The nearby Nanchan Temple is also a good place to enjoy the maple leaves. 🚗Transportation: Take bus No. 5 from JR Kyoto Station to the "Nanzenji Eikan-do-michi" stop and walk for about 3 minutes to arrive. 💹Tickets: 600 yen for adults and 400 yen for children.
