Enkōji Temple (圓光寺, Enkōji)

This temple is a Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple, which was once a school for the public. We can see Enkoji Temple from above by climbing the hill behind the temple garden. The beautiful garden centered around a pond called Jukyo no Tei with sharp rocks protruding from the sand at different angles symbolizing a dragon in flight. Another garden is full of maple trees that turn the area into a field of red and fiery oranges in the fall. ------------------------------------------- #kyoto #autumn #japantrip #kyotoautumn #kansai #traveljapanbyyourself #autumnleaves #kyoto #travelkyoto #thickbrows #getdiscountwithoutluck -------------------------------------------
