Arashiyama is a hot spot for sightseeing in Kyoto. The Tenryuji Temple Hogan-in Temple I came to this time was specially chosen during the red leaves period. I liked its natural landscape and temples. I have visited Arashiyama four times in autumn, but I have not been able to fully visit Arashiyama. The red leaf scenic spot, the scenic spot that was not completed last time due to the dark and cold wind, will finally fulfill the wish of collecting another red leaf scenic spot this time. (serious)
