In the second year, how to choose these scenic spots when you sprint Keihan to enjoy the autumn leaves?Basically, it is the regret of the first year's relics and special attractions. Daigo Temple belongs to the latter.I always thought it was a famous place for viewing cherry blossoms, but I didn't expect that its night maple was so beautiful, coupled with the few number of tourists..., my friends kept asking me not to write about the scenic spots too early, and they regarded me as the three major gods in Japan!In fact, many Geyou have reported on it, but because of the appointment method and payment, relatively few people visit.

A small archive of Daigo Temple in Kyoto.
Taigu Temple was built in the 874th year of Tang Zhenguan (907).Master Sheng Baoliyuan met the mountain god Yokoo Myojin on Shangdaigo Mountain, and obtained the spiritual spring "Taigoshui", and built a small temple to enshrine the two statues of Guanyin and Ruyi Wheel. It was the predecessor of Daigo Temple.Later, because the three emperors of Daigo, Suzaku, and Murakami believed in Buddhism at that time, the Yakushido was built in the seventh year of Enki (926) in accordance with the wishes of Emperor Daigo, and the temple architecture of Shangdaigo was gradually completed.Next, it is planned to build a temple in Xia Daigo. In the fourth year of Yanchang (951), the Sakyamuni Hall was built, and the completion of the five-storied pagoda in the fifth year of the Houtian calendar (XNUMX) was the completion of the temple building of Xia Daigo.Since then, Daigo Temple has occupied an important position in the history of Buddhism as the central temple of the Ono school of Shingon Buddhism.

Experience sharing of night maple viewing at Daigo Temple, Kyoto.
If the place where Maple Forest is located along the way, there will be lights or changes in light and shadow of various colors. At night, the appointment and payment system is adopted. You need to apply on the official website and pay after approval. In contrast, here is the crowds of maple viewing. Compared with other names, it is sparse, but it is more in line with the appetite of people who love to appreciate the scenery.Chatting or taking pictures with friends who enjoy the tour together, some are more leisurely travel mood, there is no need to be cautious about crowds or crowded mood.My other friend and I are both photography enthusiasts. There is no need to squeeze people to take pictures of the beautiful night map of Daigo Temple Lake. I can’t help but thank the friends who helped to make an appointment again and again, which made us very rewarding.
