Can't resist the allure, so I visited Rurikoin Temple at the end of the maple leaf season to experience the blend of yellow and red through the window view. The main space is not large, and visitors take turns leaning by the table, capturing the beauty of autumn. Besides taking photos, you can copy Buddhist sutras in front of the maple leaf window, listening to the rustling leaves in the wind, as if the world has slowed down. Rurikoin Temple is open for special visits only in spring, summer, and autumn. If you visit in autumn, you can plan a day trip including Yase and Mount Hiei to fully experience the red maples and the tranquility of the temples. 📍Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wtEdZvH2cKHrtw3i8

🌿 When you step into Rurikoin Temple, you are instantly attracted by the green scenery. The 2,000 yen ticket seems particularly worth it at this moment. Every corner here is full of natural tranquility and harmony, making people forget to leave. 🏯 Walking in this ancient courtyard is like stepping back in time, letting people feel the profound heritage of Japanese traditional culture. 🌸 If you plan to go to Kyoto, Rurikoin Temple is definitely an attraction not to be missed. It is recommended to purchase tickets in advance to avoid peak tourist periods and enjoy a leisurely time. #KYOTO #RYURIKOYUAN #JapanTravel

Sisters, you must find a chartered car in advance❗️It will be much more convenient. We spent all of our little cash on taxis in Kyoto over the past two days. It cost 5,000 yen from Karasuma to Rurikoin, and I don't remember how much the taxi to Sanzen-in cost. I felt that it was quite rushed to visit Rurikoin Temple, Hijuzan Temple, Sanzenin Temple and Kifune Shrine in one day. 1⃣️Rurikoin is packed every day in autumn, and you can’t get in without an appointment in advance. We paid someone to make the appointment, which was not expensive but saved us a lot of trouble. ⚠️Pay special attention to wearing thick socks when it’s cold❗️Otherwise, stepping on the cold wooden boards will really cause your period to come out! Affects the perception! When you enter the courtyard, you will be given a small bag containing paper and pen for copying scriptures. There is a special place in the courtyard where you can copy scriptures. It's really enjoyable to drink tea in such a nice environment. After the tour, you can buy your favorite souvenirs. I bought myself a small bowl, which can help me calm down when I’m upset. It’s small and doesn’t take up any space. 2⃣️Sanqianyuan is very beautiful, and your mobile phone can’t capture its beauty at all. Be sure to see it in person if you get the chance. You also have to wear slippers when entering the Japanese-style room, and the courtyard is larger than Rurikoin. The internet-famous bridge is really just that, and there are two courtyards 🏡 next to it that need to be visited. If you are short on time 👭, you can ignore it. November 25th 🍁 is getting better and better, for your reference. #Autumn maple leaf viewing #Travel without punching in #Kyoto travel #Rurikoin #Japan travel guide #Kyoto travel #Sanzenin #Yase #Red leaves #Travel in pursuit of autumn

Spend the weekend in a different place: Kyoto Station 🚉 I took a day off to walk the more remote Kibune Shrine route and felt the romance of Kyoto that is unique to the maple leaf season. I thought there would be a lot of people during the maple leaf season, but when I actually arrived at the attraction, there weren't many people. Tour route: Take the bus from Kawaramachi Shijo at 8 am - Sanzenin Temple - Rurikoin Temple - Eizan Railway - Kibune Shrine - return to the city 1️⃣ Sanzen-in Temple P2-P7: Ticket price: 700 yen. It is recommended to order a matcha dessert in the courtyard and sit in the courtyard to enjoy the maple leaves, which can relax the whole tired body... 🍵 Matcha requires an additional fee of 600 yen/person. 🚴Transportation: The city bus goes directly to Sanqianyuan (I forgot which stop to get on the bus, you can search on Google Maps, get on the bus first, and then swipe the Suica card after getting off) 2️⃣ Rurikoin p8-p11: Ticket price 2000 yen. The whole courtyard is not big. After entering, you will be given a copy of the sutra to keep inside and copy. The second floor is the check-in point for the scenic spot. There are many people, but the advantage is that everyone can queue up in an orderly manner and it is not noisy, so the overall experience is also very good. 🚴Transportation: After exiting Sanzen-in Temple, go directly back to the original alighting point and queue up to get on the return bus, and get off at Ruriko-in Temple) 3️⃣ Eizan Railway p12: Walk a short distance from Rurikoin to Yaseto Station. The purpose of taking the Eizan Railway is to go to Kibune Shrine. This section of the route passes through the maple leaf viewing section and the driver will slow down to let passengers enjoy the scenery along the way (this operation is very loving) 4️⃣Kifune Shrine p13-p18: Tickets 🆓. It was not dark when we went there, so we did not see the shrine lit up in the dark, but we experienced the water fortune telling and found a lucky number, which made us very happy. The water fortune telling is self-service. Before drawing the number, you need to wash your hands in the sink below (clean your hands), then put 200 yen to select a number, put it in the water, and wait for the number to appear and scan the code to interpret it. I have to say that the Kifune Shrine is really accurate. 🚴Transportation: Take the Eizan Electric Railway to Kibune Station, and take the bus to the last stop after exiting the station. 📷: Fuji xs20 + black soft filter Parameters: CC filter White balance: Fluorescent light 1 (R1 B-1) Dynamic: DR100 Tone curve: H-1 S-1 Color: +1 #KyotoTravel #Kifune-jinja Shrine #Sanzenin Temple #Rurikoin Temple #FujiFilter #MapleLeaves

Liuliguang Society uses various levels to describe how to arrange the light in the courtyard and how the light is reflected: on the floor, on the table, and on the water system. There are many clever little touches, and it's well worth seeing. I think the Japanese make their door beams particularly low, reflecting their humble attitude of keeping their heads down and looking submissive. They do not receive the light from the sky by looking up, but rather through reflection. It is very interesting and worth savoring. 🌿🏯 #琉璃光院 #睿山电铁 Picture 1: Queuing for half an hour at the entrance⏳ Picture 2: There is a gap above the water system in the pavilion, and it feels like the sun is shining directly on the shore like a flashlight. There is a feeling of welcoming light into the room🌞 Picture 3: Tabletop reflection (lacquerware craft)🖌️ Picture 4: Floor reflection Picture 5: Water system reflection, taken with iPhone, you can see it📱 Picture 6: Camphor gate transmission🚪 Pictures 7 & 8: Easy ride, Keihan train to Deyanagi-cho, transfer to Eizan Electric Railway Yase direction (some people say it is more troublesome to go there, but it is almost the same as going to Arashiyama, just in a different direction)🚆 #Rurikoin #JapanTravel #GardenDesign

Walk forward for seven or eight minutes from the bottom of Mount Hiei and you will reach Rurikoin 🟡🔴. The colors here are like a dream 🍁🍁. Although there were a few more people, I still liked it very much. #WinterTravelCollection #Rurikoin #2024MyInterestFocus #Kyoto #Travelersnotebook #KyotoTravel #handbooker #KyotoRedLeaves #RedLeaves #Travel

Before I went to Liuliguang Temple, I came across a lot of posts about lightning protection. They were all complaining that it was not worth it and that the tickets were expensive🎫. I finished reading it in a few minutes. The key is to make a reservation. It was only after I went that I realized that the road is walked by oneself, and everyone’s feelings are different. Now let me talk about my feelings after going there, one by one. 🚇The transportation is very convenient. For example, when I live in Gion Shijo, I take the subway to Demachiyanagi and transfer to the Eizan Electric Railway (toward Yase Hieizanguchi) and get off at the terminal station. It takes about 10 minutes to walk there. 🕐About 50 minutes 1️⃣Is it necessary to make a reservation to enter the Maple Leaf Season Liuliguangyuan? No, if you don’t make a reservation in advance, you can queue up on site. I entered the park at 14:00 in the afternoon and queued at the door for about 20 minutes. Just register your name before queuing. 2️⃣Ticket price? 🎫The ticket is 2,000 yen. Not only is the ticket, it also contains a prayer book. After visiting Rurikoin Temple, you can sit on the prayer seat and write ✍. First copy the Buddhist scriptures and then write down the inscription and wishes. I think this experience I like it very much and can take it away. 3️⃣Are there many people? There is definitely a per-person effect, but the main reason for the large number of people is that everyone comes here to take pictures. The whole courtyard is very aesthetic. As long as you can take pictures, I think you can make a photo. If you wear a kimono, the effect will be more beautiful. 4️⃣What are the techniques for producing films? How did you take the scenery? Many people say that the scenery is a scam, because it is the light and shadow reflected by the black table that creates the breathtaking beauty of Rurikoin, but I really want to say that it is really beautiful to the naked eye. The left 👈🏻 is red and the right 👉 🏻It’s green, I just regret that I can’t take pictures of the scenery to the naked eye. 5️⃣Tour time? I came down for about an hour because I like photography, looking for angles to look for light and shadow, including looking at souvenirs and souvenirs. ⚠️A reminder, when taking photos at a black table, you must take photos in a civilized manner and don’t always occupy the spot🕳️and stay away. Of course, the staff will also remind tourists who have occupied the spot for a long time and will not leave. It is divided into the first floor and the second floor. After taking photos and praying and copying scriptures on the second floor, you can take a bite and then go to take pictures of the courtyard scenery and sit for a while. The weather has been very good these two days, and it is very photogenic. #AutumnTravel #Leave my autumn-viewing seat #Kyoto Maple Leaf Season #六里光院 #Ruishan Electric Railway #Kyoto Travel #Kyoto Temple #Japanese Garden #Light and Shadow Art

Although Tokugawa Garden is not large, the addition of elements such as waterfalls, strange rocks, and small bridges makes the whole garden grand and elegant. After November, the autumn wind dyes the maple leaves and euonymus in the garden red, and there are limited-time lighting events, allowing you to enjoy the maple leaves at night. Xianglan Creek is famous for its autumn maple scenery in Japan. More than 4,000 maple trees on both sides of the valley complete their transformation in the autumn wind. The green, green, and red leaves cover each other, adding the most intense touch to autumn. November is the Xianglan Creek Red Leaf Festival, during which various traditional performances will be staged. The name of Rikugien Garden comes from the "Wind, Elegance, Praise, Fu, Bi, Xing" in the Book of Songs, which means to create a poetic world away from the hustle and bustle. In autumn, there will be limited lighting events here, the red maple is more brilliant under the light, and the pond is more dreamy in the floating shadow. In the autumn of Lake Kawaguchi, you can stroll along the 1.5-kilometer-long maple corridor while enjoying the magnificent view of Mount Fuji in the distance. During the Red Leaf Festival, small stalls on both sides of the road will sell various souvenirs and special delicacies. Liuliguang Temple is only open twice a year, once in the lush summer and once in the fiery autumn. The study on the second floor of the courtyard is furnished with bright lacquered long tables, and the red leaves outside the window are reflected on the table, forming a beautiful scene.

Demachiyanagi Station is the last stop on the Keihan Railway in Kyoto. From there, go through the station's connecting passage, transfer to the Eizan Electric Railway, get off at Yase-Hieizanguchi Station, and walk for about 5 minutes to see Rurikoin Temple. This is a famous spot for the autumn leaves that begin to change color in the fall, but the new green leaves were also beautiful. The contrast between the light and dark of the garden and the room is calming. After clearing my mind by admiring the garden, I had time to face myself by copying sutras.
