Chojiko-ji Temple, a famous place for autumnal viewing in Kyoto, is listed in the top 10 must-visit maple viewing lists in Anya. During the first year of sprinting, it was cloudy and there was no sunlight near the evening. The maple leaves on the scene had already fallen into leaves, so I secretly decided to come again next year. !When planning the itinerary in the second year, Wendy adjusted his mobility according to the weather conditions. He took advantage of the big sun to show his face and accompany me to sprint to Changjiguang Temple again. The sunlight through the leaves is really beautiful, so I will introduce the second visit first. Done, let you see how beautiful the splendid scenery is at the time when the light and shadow are scattered, my heart also flew past when I wrote it.

The location of the temple is in Ukyo District, Kyoto City, and the mountain is called Kokurayama (おぐらさん), which is said to be the old site of the residence of the singer Fujiwara Sada’s Shigutei.Who is Fujiwara Sada's family?
He is well-known for his waka song collection "One Hundred People". The singer from the Kamakura period was commissioned to design a villa "Kokura Sanso" in Sagano, Kyoto. He designed the pattern of the Japanese door. He selected 100 outstanding people according to the age. The singer and one of his works have been formulated into a collection of "One Hundred People", which is called "One Hundred People in Ogura".The ruins of the working residence of the Fujiwara Sada’s family, passed down as Jojiko Temple. If you visit here, you will find that it is a very suitable studio for writing Japanese songs. Not only does it have a view overlooking the mountains, it is surrounded by rich and beautiful scenery. Regardless of the season, it has its own style, and it is not difficult to understand that "One Hundred People in Ogura" has many excerpts from works chanting the feelings of autumn leaves.

Sharing experience of maple viewing at Jojiko-ji Temple in Kyoto.
The maple forest here is densely planted and luxuriant. When you walk in the courtyard, you will be fascinated by the golden, orange, and red maple leaves on both sides. It is inevitable that there will be more tourists taking pictures on the small trail. The weather is good and the famous reward It is far from enough to wait patiently if you want to take pictures of the empty scenery at Maple. I am afraid that I will have to leave at 6 o'clock in the morning and prepare to sprint here before the monastery opens.Step up all the way, you can even feel the beauty of the maple forest from different viewing angles, the green moss on both sides of the hillside, the color level is perfect!
There are many buildings and pagodas in the territory. In the afternoon, the setting sun reveals red leaves that are more ancient. One of my favorite scenery is the clock tower. There are seats for a rest. I saw several uncles holding cameras constantly framing. Shooting, I want to talk about and see what the composition is. It turns out that the front and back scenes of the maple leaves, interspersed with the bell tower, is a good shooting angle.For photography enthusiasts, if Changjiguang Temple uses a wide-angle lens, it is easy to capture tourists' silhouettes. Perhaps the medium and long focal lengths are more suitable.
Finally, before you leave, don't forget to start the red leaf shou of Jojiko Temple. This is the most famous shou of the temple on sale in autumn. It is worthwhile to see this beautiful scenery and run again to satisfy my wish. (Happy)
