A closer look at the map of the northern area of Kyoto City, you can see that in the same latitude area, there are three Takamine temples (Koyueji, Genkouan, and Joshoji) in the middle, and the three gardens of Ijoji Temple (Shisendo, Enkoji, Manshu) in the east. In the west, there are three Kaohsiung temples (Shenhu Temple, Ximing Temple, Gaoshan Temple). The 9 locations are full of beautiful red leaves. It is worth arranging a special visit throughout the day.
Preparing to go to the Shenhu Temple of the Three Temples in Kaohsiung
The Three Temples of Kaohsiung was the first red leaf attraction that we visited and the last to visit. In 2007, we followed Foreman Jian’s tour group to Shenhu Temple for the first time. Because it was rainy and the road was slippery and the sky was late, the tour bus could only stop at the Kaohsiung Bus Station in the mountain city. Near the sign, we got off the car and strolled along the downhill road to Qingtaki River. At that time, we also enjoyed the beautiful scenery of red leaves. At that time, the eldest brother said lightly: "From this ramp, you can reach Shenhu Temple in a short walk. Take a moment, it’s a bit dangerous to get slippery in the rain, so it’s good for everyone to stroll around.
Therefore, after many years of visiting Kyoto and walking many autumn leaves spots, I finally remembered this missed Jingoji again. This time, I finally completed the last unfinished Jingoji that was "just a short walk away".After querying Google Maps, this section of the road is 700 meters and 10 minutes away, but it has to go downhill and uphill. Actually, you have to walk for an hour, because you have to rest for 1 minutes in the middle, ha!
▲ After getting up early in the morning, prepare the camera and prepare to complete the unfinished red leaves tour of Shengo Temple last time.
Transportation and itinerary to Shengo Temple
Kyoto City Bus can only reach the Kaohsiung area on Route 8. It starts at Shijo Karasuma Station. It is not possible to ride at Kyoto Station. It has exceeded the scope of the Kyoto City Bus One-Day Pass. An additional one-way fare of 300 yen must be paid.Therefore, the most convenient means of transportation to Kaohsiung Shingo Temple is Kaohsiung by JR West Japan Bus.On the Beijing North Line, the one-way ticket is 520 yen. It is recommended to purchase the Kaohsiung Ferry ticket (a one-day ticket) for 800 yen per person. The one-way journey takes about 50 minutes. The fare is already worth the fare for two round trips.
When using the Kaohsiung One-day Pass, you can freely get on and off the bus between Kitano Station and Tsuneo Station. This zone has famous attractions such as Omuro Renwa Temple, Longan Temple, Hirano Shrine, Kitano Tenjin Palace, etc. You can intersperse if you feel that you have visited Beijing North Three If the temple is not enough, these scenic spots can be interspersed halfway through.However, I suggest that you don't play your life like this, just walk through the three temples in North Beijing for the whole day!

One-day dispersal plan and inkstone pavilion at Shenhu Temple
Compared with the "Maple viewing spots in Kyoto.Kurama Temple"The physical requirements of Shengo Temple are slightly lower, but it is also a mountaineering level. It is recommended that you be mentally prepared. Before going up the mountain, you can eat and drink and prepare.There will be two dining places along the road, the inkstone pavilion and the Kaohsiung tea room. It is recommended that you choose to go directly to the top. After visiting the Shenhu Temple, you will have a meal and rest on the return trip. You can leisurely eat and take pictures. Great experience.
▲ The bus stop in the mountain city of Kaohsiung is located, and on the right is the entrance of the walking path to Shenhu Temple.
▲You can see the beautiful scenery of red leaves on the downhill section from the entrance.
▲ Last time I saw the red leaves on this ramp for the first time, and I already felt quite satisfied!
▲ After walking the ramp, I came to the small bridge on the Qingtaki River.
▲ There are many shops on both sides of the Qingtaka River. You can buy something to fill your stomach and take pictures leisurely.
▲ Next, is the continuous uphill road!
▲ Sendao = uphill road, everyone has to understand this first.
▲ To help you understand what is meant by "Sando"?Add real photos of Anya's insights in person.
▲ There are two dining options along the way, the inkstone pavilion and the Kaohsiung tea house. The inkstone pavilion at the corner of the way is higher and has a better view.
▲ After walking through the road, there is still a steep stone step in front of the gate of Shenhu Temple, let's continue!
Jingo Temple
Shenhu Temple occupies a large area. There are many temple buildings, red leaf mountain trails, and a viewing area. You can enjoy the view of the valley where the Qingtaki River is located. It is highly recommended to spend one or two hours here.If you choose to go to Gaoshan Temple and Ximing Temple for the whole day trip, if you have enough physical strength, you may also choose the Jintang Temple of Shengo Temple at night to see a different night view of Shengo Temple.
▲ Yes, there are still uphill stone steps in the Shenhu Temple. You have to take your time and walk slowly.
▲ After waiting for An Ya to breathe for an hour, I can finally take a calm and relaxed photo.
▲ Continue to collect the guards of Kyoto temples.
▲ The mountain trail behind the temple complex, remember to walk around.
▲ There is a sale of clay pots for removing bad luck at the scene, 2 pieces of 100 yen, just like the temple asking for a visa. But...
It's luck to ask for a sign. Losing soil to remove bad luck depends on skill. It's in your own hands to remove bad luck or not!
▲ Throw the little clay into the valley, the farther you throw it, the better you can eliminate bad luck!
Relying on the experience of throwing cards and playing in the water when she was a child, Wendy is about to throw it to the opposite hill. The next year, she will be drawn to the number one in Tokyo Asakusa, hehe!
