Nizonin was built in the Heian period of Japan. It was named after the two statues of "Sakyamuni Tathagata" and "Amitabha Tathagata" in the courtyard. Walk all the way from the gate to the main hall of Nizonin. It is a very famous red leaf path, about 200 meters long. In autumn, the road is full of red leaves, which is very beautiful. I personally like another view in the courtyard. When planning autumn maple viewing trips, I highly recommend everyone to visit. It is very comfortable and relaxing to walk here from Changjiguang Temple! (push!)
