In addition, there are fewer tourists. The entire garden landscape and viewing building itself exudes an elegant atmosphere, allowing people to experience the beauty of autumn leaves.After seeing the maple scenery of the wide garden, we were still concerned about the situation that we were still in love with each other, and then we bought matcha rolls to stay for a long time to enjoy the more rare indoor scenery of a small house, so that the mood and beautiful scenery echoed more thoroughly and thoroughly. Purification.

Transportation and itinerary to Rurikoin

As inOne-day trip to Eizan Tram by private railway"Introduction, the fastest way to get to Rurikoin Temple is to take the Eizan Main Line (Green Line) of the Eizan Tram, get off at the Yase Hieizanguchi Station at the end of the route, and walk about 500 meters along the Koya River. Quite convenient.In addition, if you take Kyoto Bus No. 10, 16, 17, 18, 19, you can get off at the "Yase Station" stop and walk about 600 meters to get there.At that time, we considered living near Kyoto Station. We chose to take the No. 5 bus, which is the most majestic and best for admiring the autumn leaves in Kyoto, and change to the Eizan Electric Green Line at Hosaka Pond Station.

How to arrange a one-day maple viewing itinerary at Rurikoin?According to personal experience, the itinerary is actually very simple, just arrange one itinerary for Rurikoin throughout the day, haha! !After leaving early in the morning for Rurikoin, I thought that in the afternoon, I could take the Eizan ケーブル and Eizan Ropuウェイ to climb Hieisan to enjoy the alpine maple scenery. However, on the same day, under the beautiful scenery of Rurikoin, I could only go to Hieisan ケーブル in the evening. Look at the maple red at the station near the Yase Station, so it is recommended to come to Rurikoin early in the itinerary. The follow-up will depend on personal preferences and the situation at the time, and wait for the opportunity to arrange the maple viewing spots along the Eizan Electric Railway or the No. 5 bus.

Ruriko Institute.Quiet experience of matcha table

When I went to Kyoto to enjoy the autumn leaves in 2014, it coincided that Rurikoin was reopened from 11/15-11/30. Even if the worship material was as high as 2,000 yen per person, I still decided to visit.After lingering on the second and first floors for a long time, when finally reluctant to leave the building, he saw a special matcha table for the maple viewing place on the first floor. Even if each person had to pay an extra 600 yen for the matcha rolls, this is a rare opportunity Under the circumstances, without thinking about it, just buy the ticket and wait for admission. After waiting for about 20 minutes, under the guidance of the on-site staff, when you walk into the small tea room for admiring the maple, the special maple appreciation mood spontaneously arises. People suddenly entered a special level of artistic conception of admiring the maple.

Postscript: The high-priced visit fee worthy of a half-day stay

When I walked out of the gate of Rurikoin, I happened to encounter a lady with a Chinese face and asked: "I only have half an hour to visit, so I have to catch a plane. Is it worth paying 2,000 yen to visit?"~~

this problem.How do you ask someone to answer?The problem is not the high cost of visits, but only half an hour to visit Rurikoin. Whether it is buying tickets for admission or giving up and leaving, it is regrettable!If you buy a ticket to enter, you will regret that there is only half an hour left and you can’t fully appreciate the beauty of Rurikoin; if you leave directly, you will also regret that you missed such a beauty!

For those who have the opportunity to visit Rurikoin in the future, it is recommended to set aside a whole day. This small garden may make you prefer to stay here all day and be unable to leave.
