Autumn color in Kyoto!

In Japan now leaves are starting to change colors, red, yellow, gold, orange etc.
Especially, Kyoto is famous for the autumn colors. 









You can see beautiful nature, mountains, trees and also  Japnaese gardens at various temples.

In Japan the four seasons are very distinct.
You can enjoy all season in Kyoto but especially it is beautiful in Autumn.

From end of Oct leaves change colors little by little. We can not expect how colour will be as it depend on the temperature. 

I went to Tofuku temple.  It has a beautiful garden, Hojyo garden. 
This garden was kind of modern design, designed by Shigemori 

Also in the temple there is a bridge and you can see the beautiful autumn colour from this bridge. 


Not only in Autumn, but also in all season this temple is very beautiful.

You can read  a history of this temple.

Near this temple there are some another temple. 
So it is nice to walk around this area and see gardens of different temples.

I went to Kodaiji temple and Entokuji temple at night. Both are close. So it is easy to go both temple at one night.

In Koadiji there are beautiful garden. Especially at night, trees, temple and bridge reflect on the wanter of the pond. 
When there is no wind, reflection of threes do not move at all. So it is like real trees but upside down. It is amazing.

Now there is an lighting up event and you can see art of light up in the garden.
You can read about Kodaiji temple here.  Kodaiji

Not only Kyoto but also at many placed in Japan Autumn color is beautiful from end of Oct to beginning of Dec.
Colors of nature make harmony.
