Kyoto Kwangmyo Temple (Nagaoka Kyosei Kyoukōji Temple) is a famous place for autumn leaves. It is the most favorite spot for maple viewing. It will be specially arranged to visit. It is a small helper. My husband found out that the spot is Sony Bravia. The beautiful photos shared by many friends at the gate of the Sandao medicine doctor are even more fascinating. If you arrange a maple viewing trip in Kyoto, Guangming Temple is definitely your first choice.
How to get there: How to get to Nagaoka Kyomagyo Temple from Kyoto Station?
On this day, we went to Nagaokakyo. We used a three-day Kansai Freepass that does not require consecutive days to be used. The Kansai Freepass mainly covers public subway MRT and private railways and buses. It is a combination of trains and private railways and buses.Since Guangming Temple and subsequent attractions belong to the suburbs of Kyoto, it is recommended that you take into consideration the transportation time and give enough time to go back and forth.
Hotel (get up) → subway (Kujo Station K12 → Shijo Station K09) → Hankyu Kyoto Line (Karasuma Station → Nagaoka Tenjin Station) → Hankyu Bus 20, 22 system (Hankyu Nagaoka Tenjin → Asahigaoka Tenjin → Asahigaoka Tenjin) → Somotoyama Komeiji
The transportation to Guangming Temple is a little more complicated, but transportation, such as MRT, railway and bus can still be connected seamlessly. In response to the peak sightseeing season, Kyoto will also provide many temporary buses, everyone can pay attention to it.Also, when you take the Hankyu Bus to Kōmōji,Remember to be under the stop sign "旭が丘ホーム前" instead of under the stop sign of "Guangming Temple", Don’t be misled by the name of the stop sign!The official website of Guangming Temple also provides explanatory materials.

Introduction to the background of Guangming Temple.
Guangming Temple was founded at the end of the 12th century. It is said to be the founder of the Japanese Buddhist sect, Jodo Buddhism, Faran. It teaches the Buddhist doctrine of "Buddha chanting". The buildings of Guangming Temple are mostly clustered on the mountainside and connected to each other with corridors.The central building Taisho Hall and Amitabha Hall are worth visiting. In addition, the temple also houses the wooden Thousand Hands Guanyin, which is a famous cultural heritage.The surrounding area of Guangming Temple is surrounded by pine trees, cherry trees, maple trees, etc. The most famous one is that in autumn, the approach road leading to the main hall is reflected by the red leaves of the mountain, which is the most beautiful scenery.
