The temple is formally known as "Zenrinji," with the honorific mountain name "Shojuraigosan" (聖衆来迎山), however, in the middle of the Heian Period it came to be known as Eikando after the head Buddhist monk "Yokan" (永観) who trained there.

Autumn Leaves at Entsuin Temple: Video Introduction This video, titled "Entsuin Temple｜Autumn Leaves Illumination｜Matsushima, Miyagi｜2019｜Panasonic FZ1000" (円通院　紅葉ライトアップ　松島　宮城　2019　Panasonic FZ1000), was uploaded by "JMF Japan Miyagi Film." It introduces the breathtakingly beautiful autumn foliage illumination event at Entsuin Temple. A Closer Look at Entsuin Temple – Its History and What Makes It Unique Photo：The garden and mausoleum of Entsuin Temple Entsuin Temple is a temple associated with the Date clan, the feudal lords of Sendai, located in Matsushima, Miyagi, in Japan's Tohoku region, a place known as one of the "Three Views of Japan." Entsuin Temple was built in 1647 by Date Tadamune as the mausoleum of Date Mitsumune, the grandson of Date Masamune. Located in the inner part of the temple grounds is a mausoleum from the early Edo period (~1603-1700 AD) which is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. Within the grounds of Entsuin Temple, visitors can enjoy several gardens, including a dry landscape garden that depicts Matsushima, a garden designated as a Cultural Property by the Town of Matsushima, a moss garden that takes advantage of the natural beauty of the inner mausoleum, and a garden mainly featuring roses, created by the temple's head priest. Entsuin temple is located just a few minutes' walk from Zuiganji Temple, and as you pass through the temple gate, you'll see many kokeshi dolls that have been used in marriage ceremonies, and enshrined on the back side of the gate is Enmusubi Kannon. Enmusubi Kannon (the Buddhist goddess Avalokiteshvara depicted as a matchmaker) is said to bring together men and women or those who have never had a chance to be together, and is famous as a power spot for marriage. Thus, Entsuin Temple is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Matsushima, together with Zuiganji Temple, a National Treasure. When to See the Autumn Illumination Event at Entsuin Temple + Highlights of the Event Photo：Shinji Pond at Entsuji Temple in Matsushima, Miyagi Entsuin Temple is also known for its beautiful autumn foliage. Every year from late October to late November, when the autumn leaves are at their best, an autumn illumination event takes place. The event is held in the historic Matsushima Rikyu, which is planted with ancient maple trees. In 2022, the event is scheduled to run from Saturday, October 29 to Wednesday, November 30. During this period, visitors can enjoy the fantastic autumn foliage illuminated at various places in the garden. In particular, this year's illumination event also features light-up events at Zuiganji Temple and Entsuin Temple from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM (last admission at 8:45) daily from Saturday, October 29 to Wednesday, November 23. We hope you have a chance to visit Entsuin Temple and enjoy the fantastic autumn leaves as shown in the video. The Rose Garden at Entsuin Temple Photo：The garden of Entsuin Temple Entsuin Temple is famous not only for its autumn foliage but also for its roses, and is also known as "Bara-ji" or "Rose Temple." The origin of this name is that the oldest Western roses in Japan were brought back by Hasekura Tsunenaga of the Date Clan, who traveled to Europe as an envoy during the Keicho Mission to Europe. As a symbol of his achievement, Entsuin Temple created a garden mainly composed of roses. In addition, roses are painted on the zushi (minature shrine) of the inner mausoleum, which is also designated as an Important Cultural Property. Entsuin Temple is a baroque garden born from a fusion of Buddhism and Christianity. The best time to see the roses is in early June, when the roses in the rose garden are in full bloom. However, bloom times vary according to the variety of rose. Traditional Prayer Bead Making Experiences and More! At Entsuin Temple, which is famous for its matchmaking activities, visitors can try their hand at making their own original Buddhist prayer beads. Buddhist prayer beads, called Juzu (数珠) in Japanese, are important Buddhist ritual objects that are worn during funerals, memorial services, visits to graves, and other occasions when one prays to Buddha. It's said that just by holding them, one can rid themself of misfortune and gain peace and tranquility. In the bead making experience, participants can choose their favorite beads and make their own unique prayer beads. The beads are made of natural stone, plastic, and glass, all of which are used to pray and express gratitude to the deity of Entsuin Temple. The process takes 20 minutes, is relatively simple, and does not require an appointment. Entsuin Temple also has its own original shuin stamp books. All of these books are also used to pray and make offerings of gratitude to the main deity of Entsuin temple. By depositing your shuin stamp book at the entrance before visiting the temple, you can receive a shuin stamp when visiting. Summary of Autumn at Entsuin Temple Photo：Entsuin Temple, Matsushima, Miyagi Entsuin Temple is a place where visitors can enjoy various gardens, autumn leaves, Buddhism, and bead-making workshops in a relaxing atmosphere with lots of nature and rich history.

Tourist Information for Viewing the Autumn Colors in Hakkoda and the Tsugaru Plains in Aomori This tourism promotional video (made by JAPAN GEOGRAPHIC) highlights the renowned autumn foliage in Hakkoda. Although Japan boasts many scenic sites to practice the traditional autumn foliage viewing, one of the 100 most beautiful Japanese mountains, Mt.Hakkoda has been very popular for the viewing of autumn colors in the countryside. The breathtaking view of autumn foliage reflected on the lake surface attracts a great number of visitors. The video navigates us through the beauty of autumn-colored Hakkoda which often appears on well-known travel sites or TV programs, and also has been a regular winner of the ranking of places in Japan to see autumn colors. Autumn leaves are best seen on a sunny day. The sunlight makes the red and yellow leaves shine. Winter comes early up in the north in Aomori. Such meteorological conditions give leaves vibrant colors. The video captures the spectacular color display in Hakkoda. Hakkoda: From Hot Springs to Beautiful Autumn Foliage Photo：Kenashitai Wetlands dyed in autumn colors Some hiking trails are maintained in Hakkoda so that hikers can take in the splendid autumn color display in the clear air, or enjoy the sounds of walking through the deciduous forests on a carpet of fallen leaves. Aomori Prefecture features many renowned hot springs. Staying at an Onsen Ryokan located in the area such as Sugayu Onsen (a very charming old-fashioned onsen hotel), Jogakura Onsen, or Tsuta Onsen will make your trip even more special. The recommended hiking route is an excellent 5-hour circular walking trail that starts and ends at Sugayu Onsen. The route takes you up to Mt. Otake and leads to the vast marshlands of Kenashitai. As plenty of visitors are expected during the peak of the autumn colors, it is better to book your room in advance. The Best Sightseeing Spots in Hakkoda Source :YouTube screenshot Aomori is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Japan. When it gets a color makeover from the autumn foliage, places like Mt. Hakkoda, Oirase Gorge, Zenkojidaira, Mutsu Bay or Jyogakura Oohashi are filled with tourists hunting for vibrant colors. Look at the breathtaking autumn vistas at Jigokunuma starting at 0:50! The red tinge with yellow, and vivid orange hues.... The stunningly beautiful color display is made mainly of Beech, Japanese rowan trees (nanakamado) and maple trees. "Tsutanuma Lake" (from 1:20 -) laying at the foot of Mt. Hakkoda is a hidden gem of the area. With the red leaves floating on the water, the lake has a mysterious beauty. The image of Lake Towada reflecting the mountains of autumn colors on its surface (from 1:42) is something you never get tired of looking at it. This explains why it is a photographers' dream destination. The symbolic scenery of the turning of autumn leaves contrasted with the water's surface is a magnet that pulls tourists back to this location. A Walk in the Sky With Hakkoda Ropeway Photo：Mt. Hakkoda, Ropeway The nighttime illumination during the autumn season allows visitors to admire the colors of autumn foliage from the sky until late hours. The approximately 10-minute sky walk in a gondola takes you up to the summit of Mt. Tamoyashidake offering you a look out of the colorful autumn mountains.

It introduces Tokugawa Garden, a popular tourist attraction for enjoying the autumn leaves in Nagoya, Aichi. Viewers can experience the beautifully illuminated autumn leaves from a variety of different perspectives. Take your time to enjoy autumn in Japan with some gentle background music. A Closer Look at the Tokugawa Garden, a Famous Place for Autumn Leaves in Nagoya Photo：Tokugawa Garden, Nagoya, Aichi Tokugawa Garden is a popular destination for viewing the autumn leaves in Nagoya. Tokugawa Garden, which attracts many visitors, is located in Nagoya City in Aichi Prefecture in Japan's Tokai Region. It's a vast strolling garden that surrounds a pond and covers more than 100 acres, and is characterized by trees distributed on uneven terrain. Tokugawa Garden is a cultural legacy of the Owari Tokugawa family, a branch of the powerful Tokugawa daimyo family. It was originally the site of Ozone Oshitayashiki, a building constructed in 1695 as a retirement villa for Tokugawa Mitsutomo, the second lord of the Owari domain, one of the three Tokugawa families. The trees reflected on the surface of Ryusen Lake (龍仙湖, Ryusenko) in the park are a breathtaking sight to behold. [Video] 2:06 - Autumn leaves on the surface of Ryusen Lake Admission is 300 yen for adults, high school, and college students, 100 yen for senior citizens (65 years and older) living in the city, and free for junior high school students and younger. ※Please check the official website for details. The Tokugawa Garden Illumination and Autumn Leaves Festival Photo：Tokugawa Garden, Nagoya, Aichi The best time to view the autumn leaves is usually from late November to early December, when approximately 300 Japanese maples and other trees colorfully illuminate the garden.

The 2022 Autumn Leaves Festival is scheduled to be held from November 25 to December 4. In previous years, the park extended its opening hours (admission until 7:00 p.m.) to allow visitors to enjoy the garden at night. ※The content of the event is subject to change according to the situation of the novel coronavirus. Please check the official website for details. Cherry Blossoms and Other Seasonal Flowers at Tokugawa Garden Photo：Peonies at Tokugawa Garden, Nagoya, Aichi The pleasure of enjoying the seasonal flowers in the Japanese garden is the reason why Tokugawa Garden is famous among tourists to Nagoya. In early spring, from late February to early April, the plum blossoms are in full bloom; from late March to early April, weeping cherry blossoms and Tokai cherry blossoms can be seen; and from mid to late April, as many as 1,000 peonies can be seen blooming in the garden. During summer visitors can enjoy irises; in autumn, spider lilies and balloon flowers; and in winter, a variety of camellias can be seen throughout the garden. French Cuisine With a Japanese Flair at Garden Restaurant Tokugawaen Garden Restaurant Tokugawaen overlooks lush greenery and the clear waters of Ryusen Lake. During the day, the restaurant is bathed in dazzling sunlight, and at sunset, the atmospheric garden, subtly illuminated, invites guests into a world of fantasy. Guests dining at the restaurant can enjoy a fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine, where traditional French dishes are harmoniously blended with Japanese flavors. The dishes, reminiscent of Tokugawa's masterpieces, are great for taking photos and will look great on Instagram as well. The restaurant is also popular for wedding receptions, so you may even see a couple wearing beautiful white kimono and hakama. [Video] 2:19 - Garden Restaurant Tokugawaen Overlooking Ryusen Lake The Tokugawa Art Museum – Encounter Exquisite Masterpieces Cultivated by Japanese Traditions The Tokugawa Art Museum is located next to Tokugawa Garden. The museum exhibits a collection of over 10,000 items, including historical masterpieces that were handed down from Tokugawa Ieyasu to his ninth son, Yoshinao Tokugawa, the first head of the Owari Tokugawa house throughout the Edo period (1603-1868). The overwhelming array of masterpieces includes nine national treasures, such as picture scrolls depicting the Tale of Genji, 59 paintings and ceramics designated as Important Cultural Properties, and as many as 1,000 swords, one of which was even made by the master swordsmith Yoshimitsu. The Tokugawa Art Museum is the pride of Nagoya, and a must-visit destination when visiting Tokugawa Garden. Summary of the Tokugawa Garden in Aichi, Japan Photo：Tokugawa Art Museum, Nagoya, Aichi Learn about history at the Tokugawa Art Museum and enjoy the autumn leaves at the Tokugawa Garden after dark. This is a great way to enjoy autumn in Japan. The most crowded time at Tokugawa Garden is before sunset on weekends. To avoid crowds and traffic in the area, we recommend visiting the park a bit earlier. If you're planning to visit Tokugawa Garden by car, parking at a station one stop away and coming by train seems to be the best way to avoid crowds and traffic jams. However, since Tokugawa Garden is located in a very accessible area, it may be better to use public transportation during the autumn foliage season.

Aerial Views of Mt. Daisen in Tottori, Japan via Drone: Video Introduction This video, titled "Autumn Leaves of Mt.Daisen JAPAN【Scenery Of JAPAN 4K】," was uploaded by "SCENERY OF JAPAN." It introduces the breathtaking autumn leaves around Mt. Daisen in Tottori, Japan. Enjoy the beautiful panoramic scenery as far as the eye can see, in this magnificent 4.5-minute video of Mt. Daisen blanketed in autumn leaves. Daisenji Temple, a Must-See Tourist Attraction on Mt. Daisen Photo：Daisenji Temple, Tottori, Japan Mt. Daisen in Tottori Prefecture is located roughly in the center of Japan's San'in region. Its official name is "Hoki Daisen." The majestic mountain even appears in the Izumo Fudoki, a record of the history of Japan's former Izumo Region, which is said to have been written in 733 AD, making it one of the most historical mountains in the history of Japan. Daisenji Temple is one of the prominent tourist attractions on Mt. Daisen. To get there by car, take Prefectural Route 24 (commonly known as "Daisen Sightseeing Road" (大山観光道路, Daisen Kanko Douro)) from the Yonago Interchange on the Yonago Expressway to the Bakuroza parking lot (about 15 minutes), or by train or bus from JR Yonago Station to Daisenji Temple by Nikko Bus (about 50 minutes). Both routes offer a great view of the stunning autumn leaves. Daisenji Temple has a history of flourishing as a training center for Shugendo (mountain asceticism). At its peak, the temple had more than 100 temples and over 3,000 monks. Following the Heian period (794-1185 A.D.), the number of temples increased as mountain worship became increasingly Buddhist. It's said that at one time, the temple was as prosperous as Mt. Hiei, Mt. Yoshino, and Koyasan, 3 of the most prominent places for Buddhism in Japan. Beautiful Views, Autumn Leaves, and Mountain Climbing on Mt. Daisen Photo：Autumn leaves on Mt. Daisen The autumn leaves overlooking the rugged southern cliff of Mt. Daisen is truly a photogenic spot. Although there have been some changes over the past few years due to climate change, the leaves usually begin to change color in early October and are at their peak from late October to early November. The white snow on the top of the mountain and red autumn leaves blend harmoniously with each other, adding even more color to the already spectacular view. You can view this in the video. [Video] 0:11 - Spectacular Autumn Leaves on the South Face of Mt. Daisen in the Snow, Captured via Drone The forests are mainly broadleaf forests renowned for their beautiful autumn leaves, with beech, oak, maple, rowans, and mizunara oak being the main species. Mt. Daisen is the largest mountain in Japan's Chugoku and San'in regions and also one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains. It is popular among climbers, tourists, and travelers year-round. Although it sits at an elevation of 1,709 meters, its beautiful conical shape seen from the northwestern side has earned it the nickname "Mt. Fuji in the East." Mt. Daisen's 2022 Autumn Illumination Event – Autumn Leaves & Traditional Japanese Umbrellas Photo：Mt. Daisen's illumination event, Tottori, Japan The autumn illumination event started as part of the 1,300th anniversary of the founding of Mt. Daisen in 2018, and is now a tradition of Mt. Daisen. Only because Tottori Prefecture has a large number of craftsmen is it possible to organize the autumn illumination displaying more than 100 wagasa (traditional Japanese umbrellas). The festival is held during the Obon Festival every year, but in 2022, it was held in October for the first time in two years. The event welcomed visitors with 120 wagasa and a variety of lanterns. In addition, there was a system for taking beautiful photos with the use of a smartphone, and a commemorative photo spot as well. It's a remarkable event, great for taking photos. Tickets for the 2022 event were sold exclusively online. No tickets were sold on the day of the event. We recommend checking ticket and other information as soon as possible in advance if you're planning to attend the next event. [Video] 2:44 - The Beautiful 'Mt. Fuji in the East' Summary of Autumn Leaves on Mt. Daisen During autumn on Mt. Daisen, a famous mountain in Tottori, Japan, the entire area is covered in beautiful autumn leaves. One of the most popular driving courses is the tunnel of autumn leaves leading to Kagikake Pass (鍵掛峠, Kagikake Toge). [Video] 1:32 - A Tunnel of Beautiful Beech Trees Leading To Kagikake Pass On weekends and other occasions, you can expect traffic on Prefectural Route 24. Even still, Mt. Daisen's autumn leaves are worth the time and effort to see. The autumn colors paint a magnificent canvas of autumn on Mt. Daisen, and we hope that you will enjoy the unique autumn leaves of Mt. Daisen with your own eyes. 【TripAdvisor】Mt. Daisen https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1121369-d1373369-Reviews-Mt_Daisen-Daisen_cho_Saihaku_gun_Tottori_Prefecture_Chugoku.html

More About Shuzenji – The Hot Spring Town of Izu, Loved by Literary Masters in Japan! Photo：Autumn leaves at Shuzenji Onsen, Izu, Shizuoka Located in Izu, Shizuoka, in Japan's Tokai region, Shuzenji Onsen dates back to Heian period (794-1185 A.D.) Japan. In the year 807, when the renowned Japanese Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi founded Keikoku Sanji Temple (present day Shuzenji Temple), he saw a boy washing his sick father's body in the cold water of the riverbank. Kobo Daishi felt sorry for him and poked the ground with a tokkosho (vajra), and hot water gushed forth. This is said to be the origin of Shuzenji Onsen. Shuzenji Onsen is also famous for being loved by some of the greatest literary minds to have lived in Japan, and is even home to Kikuya, a ryokan loved by the famous writer Natsume Soseki.

Aerial Footage of Autumn Leaves, a Sea of Clouds, and Snow on Mt. Oe: Video Introduction This video, titled "Autumn Leaves, a Sea of Clouds, and Snow Landscapes on Mt. Oe via Aerial Drone Footage 4K" (紅葉と雲海、雪の大江山空撮 Drone aerial 4K shooting of autumn leaves, sea of clouds, and Mt. Oe with snow makeup), was uploaded by "Office WADA." It features aerial drone photography of the Oe Mountains in Miyazu, Kyoto! You can see the seasonal changes of the mountains from Miyazu Bay to Amanohashidate and Nariaiji Temple in 3 minutes and 25 seconds. Enjoy the spectacular autumn leaves and sea of clouds, and the snowy mountains in winter, some of the most spectacular views of the Oe Mountains. The Fascinating Mt. Oe – Legends of Demons and a Sea of Clouds. The Model for Demon Slayer? Photo：A sea of clouds at Mt. Oe, Kyoto, Japan The Oe Mountains are mountain range consisting of four mountains, Nabezuka, Hatogatake, Senjogatake, and Akaishigatake, located in Fukuchiyama, Yosano, and Miyazu, Kyoto, in Japan's Kansai region. They sit at an elevation of 832.5 meters. The Oe Mountains are said to have been inhabited by a demon called "Shuten Doji" in the mid-Heian period, and there are legends of demon exterminations. These exterminations of demons appear in the Noh play "The Oe Mountains" (大江山, Oeyama) and in the ancient Japanese text Jikkunsho, in the "Song of the Oe Mountains." "The Song of the Oe Mountains" is a story about the young Koshikibu no Naishi, a master waka poet who appears in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu and daughter of Izumi Shikibu, composing a poem so skillfully that Fujiwara no Sadayori, another master waka poet, makes fun of her, asking, "Did your mother write this poem for you?" The song tells of Koshikibu no Naishi beating Fujiwara no Sadayori in a battle of words. The Oe Mountains have attracted a lot of attention due to the popularity of the hit anime Demon Slayer. In the fall, the mountain is known for its sea of clouds, where fog rolls in between the mountains. Onitake Inari Shrine, located at the 8th station of the Oe Mountains and accessible by car, is also a spot with a superb view of the sea of clouds, and is popular as a picturesque spot for photographers and instagrammers. Sightseeing & Spectacular Views on Mt. Oe! When to See the Autumn Leaves and Sea of Clouds Photo：The sea of clouds at Mt. Oe from Onitake Inari Shrine One of the most fantastic and spectacular views of Mt. Oe is the sea of clouds, and in fact, the time of year when this sea of clouds can be seen coincides with the time of year when the leaves turn red. The autumn leaves can be seen from late October to late November on Mt. Oe. The sea of clouds can be seen from mid-October to early December. If the conditions are right, during the autumn foliage season, you may be able to see both the autumn foliage and a sea of clouds. A sea of clouds forms between mountains in the early morning when there is a large temperature difference from that of the previous day. It's a special sight because it can only be seen at certain times of day, but it is difficult to climb mountains early in the morning. Many people wish to view the sea of clouds from a place that is easily accessible by car, and as a matter of fact, there is such a place on Mt. Oe. That location is Onitake Inari Shrine, which is located at the 8th station of the Oe Mountains. Located at an elevation of 640 meters, this is a great place to view the surrounding mountains and sea of clouds. The area surrounding Onitake Inari Shrine is a rare primeval beech forest, where visitors can enjoy a vast sea of clouds and autumn leaves at the same time. It's the perfect spots for taking photos! Another Way to Enjoy Mt. Oe – Hiking Another way to enjoy sightseeing in the Oe Mountains is mountain climbing and hiking. The Oe Mountains consists of four mountains: Nabezuka, Hatogatake, Senjogatake, and Akaishigatake, and can be enjoyed by both casual hikers and advanced climbers alike. The Nabezuka course alone or the two-mountain course from Hatogatake to Senjogatake can be completed in a half-day hiking tour. Alternatively, you can challenge three or more mountains for a full-scale mountaineering expedition. We also recommend staying at a hotel in Fukuchiyama and enjoying your time over several days to carefully enjoy the spectacular views of the mountains while climbing. If you're not confident in your mountain climbing/hiking skills you can always ask for a guide. We recommend them because they can help you discover things that amateur climbers tend to overlook and also ensure your safety. Sightseeing at the Japanese Oni Exchange Museum – The Home of Shuten Doji Photo：The Japanese Oni Exchange Museum Here we'll introduce you to the legends of demons (oni) in the Oe Mountains, which have been passed down for generations. In the mid-Heian period (794-1185 A.D.), a terrifying oni named Shuten-doji lived in the Oe Mountains. Originally an exceptionally attractive human, he became a rampaging demon who ate people because of a grudge. This oni was also a great drunkard who could not be defeated by human powers alone. Minamoto no Yorimitsu was ordered to defeat this demon by making it drink sacred sake that was poisonous to demons. It's said that the demon Shuten Doji, who was "a demon consumed by alcohol," cursed Yorimitsu bitterly, calling him a coward, before he was beheaded. Besides the legend of Shuten-doji, there are two more legends of demons that have survived on Mt. Oe. Onitake Inari Shrine, located at the 8th station, is called the "home of demons." For those who wish to learn more, we recommend visiting the Japanese Oni Exchange Museum. The museum exhibits everything from the demons of Setsubun to legends of demons. It's a great way to enjoy the local culture of the Oe Mountains. Summary of Autumn Leaves and the Sea of Clouds at Mt. Oe If you're traveling to Mt. Oe to enjoy the autumn leaves and sea of clouds, we recommend visiting Onitake Inari Shrine in the early morning during November if you have the chance. On the way to Onitake Inari Shrine at the 8th station of the Oe Mountains from Prefectural Road No. 9 is the Village of Shuten-doji. This facility is also equipped with everything from tennis courts to barbecue houses, campgrounds, and lodges. If you're planning to stay near Mt. Oe to view the sea of clouds and autumn leaves, consider using the accommodations at the Village of Shuten-doji, which offers good access to Onitake Inari Shrine. 【TripAdvisor】Mt.

Autumn Leaves at Enkoji Temple, Kyoto: Video Introduction This video, titled "[4K] 2021 Autumn Leaves and Suikinkutsu at Enkoji Temple, Kyoto" (【４K】２０２１圓光寺の紅葉と水琴窟 Autumn leaves of Kyoto Enkoji Temple), was uploaded by "fuppomadoka1962." Enjoy the 4K video that will have you feeling like you're actually walking through the garden of Enkoji Temple, and experience the autumn leaves dancing in the light to the faint sound of a suikinkutsu. Highlights of Enkoji Temple in Northern Kyoto Photo：Autumn leaves at Enkoji Temple, Kyoto The reason for the overwhelmingly beautiful autumn leaves at Enkoji Temple is its location. Located in the northern part of Kyoto City, Enkoji Temple is characterized by colorful autumn leaves every year due to the extreme temperature differences between the four seasons. The highlight of Enkoji Temple's autumn foliage is the garden Jugyu no Niwa (十牛の庭, lit. "The Garden of Ten Oxen"), where visitors can view the leaves from various vantage points. [Video] 0:50 - The Beautiful Garden Jugyu no Niwa [Video] 1:30 - Jugyu no Niwa Seen From the Exhibit Hall Photo：The chozubachi at Enkoji Temple, Kyoto A suikinkutsu is a Japanese garden ornament that makes a lovely sound. The suikinkutsu in the garden of Enkoji Temple is made of a wide-rimmed chozubachi (手水鉢, water bowl), a shape not seen anywhere else, and has been cherished by hobbyists as the "Enkoji style" since ancient times. The vivid autumn leaves on the surface of the water sway in the wind, making it a popular scene for photographers and instagrammers. After snapping some photos of the beautiful autumn leaves, visitors can enjoy listening to the sound of the suikinkutsu. The sound of water dripping into the hollow of the pot, which is embedded in the ground, is similar to the sound of a koto (the Japanese harp), and it resonates in the hearts of those who hear it. [Video] 3:30 - The Faint Sound of the Suikinkutsu The history of Enkoji Temple dates back to 1601, when the famous warlord Tokugawa Ieyasu built Enkoji Temple in Fushimi and turned it into a school to promote education and learning in Japan. The temple also exhibits some of the oldest wooden typefaces in Japan (an Important Cultural Property), and has a history tracing back to the origins of printing in Japan. From the hilltop of the Toshogu Shrine on top of the mountain, visitors can enjoy the view of Arashiyama and Kitayama, and at dusk, the golden hour envelops the whole area, offering a spectacular view that changes with every passing moment. Enkoji Temple is also home to a bamboo forest path, which is said to have been frequented by Maruyama Okyo, a Japanese painter active in Kyoto during Japan's Edo period (1603-1868 AD). His painting "Bamboo in Wind and Rain" (an Important Cultural Property) is also on display at the temple. Reservations and When to View the Autumn Leaves at Enkoji Temple Photo：Autumn leaves at Enkoji Temple, Kyoto In order to avoid crowding, reservations are required for the special viewing of autumn leaves at Enkoji Temple in 2022. For reservations and details regarding reservation start times, viewing periods, times, and viewing fees, please check the advance reservation page on the official website. The best time to view the autumn leaves is usually from mid-November to early December, although times may vary slightly due to climate change and temperature fluctuations over the past few years.

During the autumn foliage season, the Jizo statues standing on a carpet of autumn leaves is great for taking photos and attracts many instagrammers. The early morning visit was popular among those looking for a quieter way to enjoy the autumn leaves without the crowds during the peak foliage viewing season. For seven days during the peak season, 70 people per day can visit before the regular viewing hours. However, as of October, there is no announcement on the official website regarding early morning viewing in 2022. Autumn Foliage Spots Around Enkoji Temple in Northern Kyoto Photo：Autumn leaves at Shisendo, Kyoto The area around Enkoji Temple, in northern Kyoto, is home to many places for enjoying the autumn leaves, as well as popular tourist attractions. Many visitors to Enkoji Temple visit Shisendo, another Buddhist temple, where they are able to escape from their frantic daily lives and enjoy a moment of tranquility. At Sanzenin Temple, a representative temple of Ohara, visitors can enjoy a spectacular collaboration between the green mosses and crimson maple leaves.

Autumn Leaves + Sightseeing in Jozankei: Video Introduction This video, titled "Hokkaido's Best Views – Autumn Leaves of Jozankei in 2021" (紅葉2021　定山渓　北海道　　絶景), was uploaded by "GreenNova TV." Jozankei is located in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and is a popular, remote hot spring resort surrounded by rich valleys and deep forests. Jozankei's vivid autumn foliage is due to the rocky surfaces of the valley having large differences in temperature and the beautifully flowing river. Shikotsu-Toya National Park consists of five areas: the Lake Shikotsu area, Jozankei area, Lake Toya area, Mt. Yotei area, and the Noboribetsu area. In the Jozankei area, the area around Hoheikyo Dam is loved by many tourists traveling in Hokkaido as one of the best places to see autumn leaves. Be sure to check out this enchanting video that captures the autumn leaves at their best. Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort's Autumn Festival! Enjoy a Spectacular View of Autumn Leaves on a Gondola!

The trees are laid out in layers like rice fields on a steep slope, and the colorful autumn leaves are sure to delight. During the daytime, many people visit the park below the dam and the Jozankei Dam Museum. And come nightfall, the star-filled sky and stunning nighttime views from the observatory attract many visitors. In addition, the Hoheikyo Dam, which has been selected as one of the Top 100 Water Source Forests and Top 100 Dammed Lakes, is a popular tourist attraction, where visitors can see water being discharged from the dam. If you're lucky, you can even see a rainbow. Be sure to check discharge times before visiting. [Video] 3:20 - Jozankei Dam Shigure Bridge – A Place for Picturesque Photography!

The walking trail is the stage for a light-up performance featuring illuminations and projection mapping to create a unique glow. The smell of the trees, the murmuring of the river, and the chirping of the insects combine to create a magical experience. JOZANKEI NATURE LUMINARIE is an admission-free event, but in recent years, it has become a limited event for Jozankei Onsen guests. If you are planning a trip to Jozankei, consider planning it in combination with a stay at a hot spring inn. [Video] 4:33 - Futami Park Summary of Autumn Sightseeing in Jozankei Jozankei has been designated as a national park and is famous for its autumn leaves. One of the reasons for its popularity is that it can be visited in less than an hour from the Sapporo city center. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, visitors can enjoy Mother Nature just by strolling through Jozankei Onsen, and enjoy the brilliant autumn leaves of fall. When the autumn leaves are in season and the walking trails in Jozankei are crowded, we recommend trying the convenient Jozankei Onsen one-day bus tours. You can stay at a nice hotel, enjoy open-air baths and delicious food, visit Jozankei Shrine to calm your mind, and, last but not least, enjoy the splendid autumn leaves.

The mountain is crowded with hikers who come to see the beautiful autumn leaves in the fall. There are nine different hiking courses on Mt.

When the autumn leaves are in season, the trailhead parking lot fills up quickly, creating traffic jams.

Autumn Leaves on Mt. Takao: Video Introduction This video, titled "Autumn Leaves and Hiking on Mt. Takao｜Travel｜Sightseeing in Tokyo｜Michelin Guide｜Autumn Leaves in Japan｜4K 2021" (4K 2021紅葉の秋の高尾山 TOKYO Autumn leaves of Mt. Takao 紅葉ハイキング高尾山観光旅行 Michelin Guides 東京観光日本の紅葉紅葉の名所), was uploaded by "Discover Nippon." Mt. Takao, a 599-meter-tall mountain in Hachioji, Tokyo, in Japan's Kanto region, is a national park that has received three stars in the Michelin Guide and is a tourist attraction where visitors can enjoy hiking. Mt. Fuji can be seen from the top of the mountain, and Takao Yakuoin Temple is crowded with many visitors. [Video] 1:55 - Takao Yakuoin Temple Be sure to check out the video to see the autumn leaves of Mt. Takao Hiking and Mountain Climbing – Recreational Activities on Mt. Takao Photo：Autumn leaves on Mt. Takao, Hachioji, Tokyo Mt. Takao, located in Hachioji, Tokyo, is 599 meters above sea level. As a relatively easy-to-climb low-lying mountain, it's gaining popularity as a mountain where hikers and climbers can enjoy casual hiking and mountain climbing. There are both full-scale mountain climbing courses and hiking courses that can be completed in casual clothing, making the mountain enjoyable for adults and children alike. From the observatory at the top of the mountain, visitors can view the symbol of Japan, Mt. Fuji. Mt. Takao is also home to legends of tengu, Japanese goblins, that have been passed down for generations. Takao Yakuoin Temple, a Shingon sect temple located halfway up Mt. Takao, is said to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits. The main deity, Izuna Daigongen, a deity worshipped by Japanese warlords during the Warring States Period, is said to be accompanied by a tengu, and you can see statues of tengu in many places on Mt. Takao. [Video] 2:00 - Takao Yakuoin Temple Mt. Takao is also famous for its autumn leaves, which attract many tourists in the fall. Even though the mountain is not very tall, the temperature is lower than that of the ground, so be sure to dress warm when visiting. When to View the Autumn Leaves on Mt. Takao Photo：The cable car on Mt. Takao, Hachioji, Tokyo The best time to view the autumn leaves on Mt. Takao is usually from mid-November to early December, and the forecast for 2022 has been announced to follow that same schedule. The best places to view the autumn leaves on Mt. Takao are around Takao-yamaguchi Station, in front of Kiyotaki Station on the cable car, and halfway up the mountain on the cable car. In addition, a festival to celebrate the autumn leaves is held every year from early November to coincide with the autumn foliage of Mt. Takao. On holidays, various events, such as demonstrations of Tokyo Kokeshi doll-making and masu-zake (sake served in small boxes) enliven the celebration of the autumn leaves. Be sure to check event schedules in advance, as they are subject to change. Advanced Hiking Courses and Crowding Information on Mt. Takao Photo：Autumn leaves on Mt. Takao, Hachioji, Tokyo As Mt. Takao can be climbed by cable car or lift to the midpoint of the mountain, it attracts many visitors. It's said to be the most visited mountain in the world, with 3 million climbers per year. During the high season, particularly during the fall when hikers can view the autumn leaves, it's not unusual for visitors to have to wait up to an hour for the cable car. If you're planning on climbing or hiking Mt. Takao, we recommend checking the latest information regarding crowding conditions on social networking sites before visiting the mountain. If you want to see the autumn leaves in a relaxed atmosphere, we recommend arriving at the mountain early in the morning. The cable cars start running at 8:00 a.m., and there are fewer people on the mountain first thing in the morning, making this the best time to arrive. If you're a beginner, Mt. Takao can be ascended in about an hour by cable car, but there is also a course that can be enjoyed by advanced climbers. However, there is also a trail that advanced climbers can enjoy. This is the advanced course located at the branch leading to the southern trails 2 and 6. Compared to the gently paved beginners' trails, this trail is not paved and climbs along a mountain path that's too slippery for ordinary sports shoes. Therefore, trekking shoes or other mountaineering shoes are required for this trail. It's the most mountain trail-like course on Mt. Takao. Mt. Takao is truly a mountain that can be enjoyed by both beginners and advanced climbers alike, so if you're a nature lover, or just looking to enjoy some wonderful scenery, consider going for a hike up the mountain while appreciating the autumn leaves. Summary of Autumn Leaves and Sightseeing on Mt. Takao We've introduced Mt. Takao during the fall foliage season, but you can also enjoy Mt. Takao lit up in the summer. At Takao Yakuoin Temple, the statues at Niomon gate and the bronze statues of tengu are lit up with green and red lights. The nighttime scenery is completely different from that of the daytime, and will have you feeling as though you're in a scene from some mythological story. Mt. Takao, a famous place for viewing the autumn leaves, can be reached in about an hour by train from Shinjuku Station in central Tokyo. There are parking lots in the area, but expect crowds during the fall when people come to view the autumn leaves. Be sure to check information in advance before visiting the mountain as well. Mt. Takao is a great spot for climbing and hiking to view the autumn foliage. It'd be a shame to miss such beautiful scenery! 【TripAdvisor】Mt.

Autumn Leaves at Tsutanuma Lake in Towada, Aomori: Video Introduction This video, titled "Perfect Fall Foliage Reflections at Tsuta Numa Lake - (shot on BMPCC6K)" ([4K] 紅色の絶景美しすぎる蔦沼の紅葉 - Perfect Fall Foliage Reflections at Tsuta Numa Lake - (shot on BMPCC6K)), was uploaded by "AQUA Geo Graphic." The video, which is less than four minutes long, introduces the breathtaking views of nature in Aomori, Japan. Tsutanuma is a secluded area at the foot of the Hakkoda Mountains in Japan's Aomori Prefecture. The trees are dyed a fiery red in the morning sun, and the still surface of the lake becomes a mirror, reflecting the magnificent red and orange foliage. The contrast with the clear blue sky is also wonderful, and the video allows viewers to experience something not often found in nature. [Video] 0:30 - Autumn Leaves Reflecting on the Surface of Tsutanuma Lake Characteristics and Highlights of Tsutanuma Lake, a Place Surrounded by Magnificent Natural Scenery Photo：Akanuma Pond, Hakkoda, Aomori Tsutanuma Lake is a secluded area deep in the Hakkoda Mountains of Aomori Prefecture, located 460 meters above sea level. The lake has a circumference of 1 km and an area of about 15 acres. It is one of seven marshes, lakes, and ponds (Tsutanuma, Kagaminuma, Tsukinuma, Naganuma, Suganuma, Hyotan-numa, and Akanuma) scattered throughout the prefecture, and is popular as a place for viewing the autumn leaves. The area around Towada-Hachimantai, including Tsutanuma Lake, was designated as Towada-Hachimantai National Park in 1936, and is an area where virgin forests of beech trees and other pristine natural features remain. The area is also a wildlife protection area for birds and animals, as it's home to a variety of wild birds, making bird-watching very enjoyable here. The "Marsh Tour" (沼めぐりの小路, Numa-meguri no Koji) is a 2.9 km circuit of six marshes (excluding Akanuma), which takes visitors counterclockwise from the Visitor Center to Tsutanuma, Kagaminuma, Tsukinuma, Naganuma, Suganuma, and Hyotan-numa, in that order, through beautiful beech forests. The course takes about one and a half hours to complete, depending on how fast you walk. You can enjoy the breathtaking seasonal scenery as you stroll along. The Autumn Foliage Season at Tsutanuma Lake – When to Visit and How to Make Reservations Photo：Tsutanuma Lake, Aomori The autumn leaves at Tsutanuma usually appear from mid-October to early November. The best time to visit is early in the morning from 6:00 to 6:30 a.m. The spectacular view of the crimson autumn leaves illuminated by the early morning sun, as shown in the video, is a sight that can only be seen before the sun has fully risen. However, please note that prior reservations and a "cooperation fee" are collected when touring Tsutanuma. The purpose of this is to prevent congestion and protect the environment so that the beautiful Tsutanuma can be enjoyed by future generations. Advance reservations are required to access the observation deck in the early morning. Also, daytime sightseeing does not require advance reservations, but a "cooperation fee" system is in place for both early morning and daytime viewing. Please keep this in mind when planning your visit, and enjoy sightseeing while respecting proper etiquette. [Video] 0:10 - Autumn Leaves Blazing Crimson in the Morning Sun The Four Seasons of Tsutanuma Lake and the Secluded Hot Springs of Tsuta Onsen Photo：Tsuta Onsen If you visit Tsutanuma, be sure to stop by Tsuta Onsen Ryokan. It's a hot spring inn located near the entrance to Oirase Gorge, surrounded by a forest of beech trees and abundant greenery. Tsuta Onsen has a long history, and is a hidden hot spring that has been flowing for 1,000 years, which is very rare, even in Japan. Tsuta Onsen is also conveniently located approximately 5 minutes on foot from "Numa-meguri no Koji," a course for exploring the seven lakes. It's also only a 20-minute drive to the Oirase Gorge and a 40-minute drive to the Hakkoda Ropeway, making it easy to access nearby tourist attractions. Embraced by pristine nature, Tsutanuma is a popular spot not only for tourists, but also for photographers, as it offers a different look in each of the four seasons, leading to many repeat visitors who visit every season. Outside of autumn, the area offers a variety of seasonal landscapes, including fresh greenery in the spring, fog and fireflies in the summer, and snowy landscapes in the winter. Summary of Sightseeing at Tsutanuma Lake Tsutanuma isn't a place mentioned by many travel guides, but most people in Japan are familiar with the Hakkoda Mountains. In addition to strolling around Tsutanuma Lake, you can also visit the surrounding tourist spots such as Oirase Gorge, Lake Towada, and the Hakkoda Mountains in about 40 minutes by car. Also, the Hachimantai area, including Tsutanuma, is one of the most prominent volcanic areas in Japan, and there are many hot spring resorts scattered around Towada-Hachimantai National Park. You can see magnificent scenes of nature all around that will help you forget your everyday life, and you can also take many photos that will look great on Instagram. Take a trip to Towada-Hachimantai in Michinoku and immerse yourself in the great nature of Aomori in north-eastern Japan. 【TripAdvsior】Tsutanuma Lake https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1059454-d1367829-Reviews-Tsutanuma_Pond-Towada_Aomori_Prefecture_Tohoku.html
