"Maple Viewing Spots in Kyoto" Nanzenyuan: The exquisite red maple Japanese garden in Nanzenji area that makes people linger

The number of maple viewing spots in Kyoto is beyond our imagination. In this trip, we found more than 40 from Hongye Express, bloggers and lazy bags. It is completely impossible to travel within 10 days. After planning the route in a district, we will Nanzenji Temple and Tianshouan are included in the first day of the itinerary. It can only be said that Kyoto in autumn is full of yellow, green and red, so beautiful!

Transportation: How to get to Nanzenji Temple from Kyoto Station?

Nanzenji Temple is located in Sakyo District, Kyoto. In addition to the beautiful autumn leaves from Sanmon, Abbot, Suirokaku to Nanzenin Temple, the nearby Tianshou Temple and Eikando are famous places for autumn leaves, so don’t worry about it. How to get there, just follow the crowd on foot!First of all, you can choose the Kyoto Municipal Subway Tozai Line. After exiting Keage Station, walk to Exit 1. It takes about 10 minutes to arrive. You can also take a city bus at Higashitennocho Station or Nanzenji Eikando Road Get off at the station and walk for about 1 minute.

When we walked all the way from Keshang Station, we already saw small clusters of red leaves, and we were so excited! (The most spoken sentence is "So beautiful!")

The Nanzen Temple in Kyoto, the head of the Nanzen Temple of Linji Sect, has been supported by the shogunate for a century.

We don’t know anything about Japanese temples. Although we have been to Nanzen Temple to enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, we only think it is similar to most temples. However, it turns out that Nanzen Temple is the general rudder of the Nanzen Temple School of Rinzai Sect in Japan (I always think of it as "the rudder". Speaking very aptly^^b), it was founded by Emperor Kameyama and was the first Zen temple built by the imperial family in Japan, so his status is higher than the five mountains of Kyoto, and it can be called the highest Zen temple in Japan. (Note that the five mountains in Kyoto are Tenryuji Temple, Sangkuni Temple, Kennin Temple, Tofuku Temple and Manshou Temple)

In addition, Nanzenji Temple has been supported by the Ashikaga, Toyotomi, and Tokugawa clan during the Shogunate period, and it was in charge of all the policies of temples and shrines in Japan during the Edo period, and its status is indescribable.

Worship the red leaves in Nanchanyuan and enjoy the scene in front of you calmly.

Admiring the maple leaves at Nanzen Temple is an unintended admission. Only the upper three gates, the abbot, and the Nanchanyuan next to the temple area are paid extra.In order to grasp the time and not affect the queuing up to see the maple at Tianshou Temple, after passing through the waterway pavilion, I decided to visit the Nanchanyuan first.The entrance fee for one person is 300 yen. The dark sky and coolness are about to come. The crowds of tourists are not too many. I think about all of them are going to the more famous Yefeng scenic spot, Eikando, so and The husband watched and photographed at will, even if he has been dazzled by the red leaves, he will still be fascinated by the multi-colored maple leaves in the Nanchanyuan. He can finally understand why the travelers are taken away by the red leaves. I only wish every year. Can come here for a visit.

Indulge in it, we can't bear to talk to destroy the tranquility, so let's give our hearts to the beautiful scenery!
