Kyoto Maple Leaf Hunting | It's maple leaf season again! Go to Kyoto to see the maple leaves!

Unconsciously, I have traveled through the four seasons of Japan, the cherry blossoms of spring, the fireworks of summer, the maple of autumn, and the snow of winter, all of which are fascinating. If you ask me which season is the most beautiful in Japan, I can only say that they are all beautiful! Each has its irreplaceable features! The maple leaf season is coming! Let me introduce you to a few must-see maple viewing spots in Kyoto! 🍁 Main attractions: 【Houyan Court】 📍Detailed address: 36 Sagatenryuji Manganji-cho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 🚗Travel strategy: Get off at JR Saga Arashiyama Station and walk for about ten minutes to reach Houyan Court is only open to the public in spring and autumn, and it is usually not open. This kind of back-to-back mountain and water courtyard is popular with tourists. Strolling along the stream illuminated by red leaves, enjoying the quiet time, there is also a matcha garden, where you can sit on the tatami and enjoy the scenery of the courtyard. 📌📌Practical tips: The tickets for Houyan Court and the matcha garden are bought at the entrance of Houyan Court. If you buy a ticket for the matcha garden, you will get a fruit and a bowl of matcha. You can sit on the tatami or wear slippers on the tatami. 【Arashiyama Small Train】 The best direction to take the small train is from Kameoka Station of the small train back to Arashiyama, so you don't have to go back. Here, please note that if you go to Kameoka Station of the small train, please be sure to take the JR line to Mabori Station! The key point is ⚠️JR Mabori Station, it takes about 5 minutes to walk from JR Mabori Station to Kameoka Station of the small train. It is best to choose the 5th carriage, because this carriage is an open carriage, which can better appreciate the scenery of Hozu Gorge. 📌Practical tips: 1⃣️From Kameoka Station to Arashiyama Station, you can see both sides of the carriage. The left side can see Hozu Gorge in the first section, and the right side can see the later section. However, it should be noted that it is warm, the wind is very strong, and it is relatively cold. 2⃣️The small train is closed every Wednesday. 【Sagano Bamboo Forest】 Get off at Arashiyama Station of the small train and walk to the bamboo forest. The best way to appreciate it is to walk, but you can also take a rickshaw. There is also a temple here, which is very popular, and it is said to be very effective 【Kitano Tenmangu Shrine】 📍Detailed address: Bakurocho, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City 🚗Travel strategy: Take the city bus to Kitano Tenmangu-mae Station This is usually a place to pray for smooth studies, but when it comes to autumn nights, it will become more beautiful, because the lights are turned on and shone on the red leaves, showing a well-arranged, forest-dyed feeling. The park is very large, from dusk to night, even if you walk around, you still have more than enough, and if you are tired, you can get a tea snack at the exit with your ticket and sit at the small table to drink tea. 📌Practical tips: 1⃣️The recommended tour time is two hours 2⃣️The business hours are 9-20 o'clock, but the lighting time is also very early, it is recommended to come here at four to five o'clock.
