Kyoto has many autumn color spots. Kinkakuji Temple and Kiyomizudera Temple are popular tourist spots not only in autumn but also in other seasons, so we are going to introduce best 5 autumn leaves spots, excluding Kiyomizudera and Kinkakuji.
No.1 Eikando
Eikando is very famous for the beautiful autumn leaves. It was named “Eikando of the Autumn Leaves” for the beauty. Eikando is illuminated at night and you’ll be amazed at the scenery. At night, we recommend you to visit the Hojo Pond, attractive spot during the autumn in the Eikando.

No.3 Kodaiji Temple
This temple was built the legal wife of Hedeyoshi Toyotomi, a very famous warrior in Japan. Of course, the autumn leaves seen in the day time are beautiful but seen at night are more gorgeous. The water reflects the leaves and the beauty of the reflection is breathtaking.
