If you're visiting Kyoto during fall, Eikando is the perfect place to take some photos of the beautiful autumn foliage to share on Instagram! The Origins and History of Eikando Photo:Fall Colors at Eikando Zenrinji Temple, Kyoto Eikando is the head temple of the Seizanrinjiha branch of Jodo buddhism (浄土宗西山禅林寺派) and was founded in the early Heian Period (794 AD - 1185 AD) by the Japanese Buddhist monk Shinsho (真招), a disciple of the great Buddhist teacher Kukai (Kobo Daishi). 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. The statue of Amida (Amitabha) is said to have come to life, turned its head and called out to Yokan while he was practicing in Zenrinji temple. You can see the famous statue of Amida, known as Mikaeriamida, in the temple even to this day. Treasures of Eikando temple Photo:Eikando Zenrinji Temple, Kyoto Eikando Zenrinji Temple was once considered one of Kyoto's Kangakuin (Academic Halls) and has long been a center of learning.

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. Road Trip Information to Hakkoda in Autumn Photo:Autumn Leaves at Hakkoda Mountain Autumn foliage in the Tohoku region typically peaks from the beginning to the end of October. The route twisting through the mountains gives travelers a diverse views of the autumn leaves. From JR Aomori station, it takes about an hour to drive to Hakkoda. There is some parking in the area. Summary : 360° Panorama View From the Summit of Hakkoda - 4k Video of Autumn Colors Hakkoda is crowded with both domestic and international tourists in the autumn season, so we recommend checking traffic information and accommodation availability provided by the tourist information websites. Enjoy the video of the majestic autumn colors in Hakkoda! 【Tripadvisor】Hakkoda Mountains https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g298240-d556800-Reviews-Hakkoda_Mountains-Aomori_Prefecture_Tohoku.html 【Official Website】Aomori Prefecture Tourist Information SIte - Aptinet https://www.en-aomori.com/ -

The Beautiful Sights of Miyagi Prefecture This video, titled "A Journey to the Light|Miyagi Prefecture|Long Version" (光に出会う旅 宮城県 ロングバージョン), was released by Miyagi Tourism. If you're thinking of going sightseeing to feel the unique essence of Japan, then why not come and feel the light of Japan in Miyagi prefecture. Miyagi Prefecture offers a variety of events and unique cherry blossom viewing spots. It's a great place to get a taste of Japanese tradition and culture. Enjoy the breathtaking atmosphere in the video. Cherry Blossoms in Miyagi Prefecture If you're looking to enjoy the cherry blossoms in Miyagi Prefecture, we recommend checking out Shiroishi River Bank Ichikyoku Senbonzakura (白石川堤一目千本桜) in Shibata, Miyagi Prefecture. The 1,200 cherry trees, mainly yoshino cherry trees, are a sight to behold. During the cherry blossom festival at Shiraishi Park, the cherry blossoms are lit up at night, making it a great place for taking Instagram pics! You can feel the unique and fantastic atmosphere of the illuminated cherry blossoms in the video as well. The combination of the cherry blossoms and lights at night create a fantastical atmosphere. Events to enjoy in Miyagi Prefecture When most people hear Miyagi Prefecture, they think of the Sendai Tanabata Festival, the number one Tanabata festival in Japan. Every year, thousands of tourists flock to this festival.But that's not all that Miyagi has to offer. At the Sairi Night of Illusions (齋理幻夜) in Marumori, countless lanterns are decorated to create a fantastic atmosphere reminiscent of the Taisho era. A lantern floating ceremony is also held in Matsushima. Miyagi Prefecture is full of events. If you plan your trip to line up with the events and festivals, you're sure to have an amazing time! Enjoy the Flavors of Miyagi Prefecture Gourmet food is an essential part of sightseeing in Miyagi Prefecture. That being said, one dish we recommend is wasabi-don (a bowl of rice topped with wasabi and other ingredients). It's delicious just with fresh wasabi, but sometimes it's served with beef, so it's a must-try dish when visiting Miyagi Prefecture. There are also other specialties, such as Sendai Seri (Japanese parsley) Hot Pot, and if you fancy yourself some spirits, you'll definitely enjoy it with some sake, such as Abe Kan, Hakurakusei, Hagi no Tsuru, or Ichinokura! Enjoying Nature in Miyagi Prefecture When traveling in Miyagi Prefecture, the great outdoors are a major appeal of the area. Speaking of nature in Miyagi Prefecture, the the Matsushima Archipelago is one of the three most scenic spots in Japan.
