So quiet if you come here in the off-season

In Autumn, if you try to find a quiet place where you can enjoy beautiful Autumn color, it is a little difficult. Kyoto is such a good and popular season for sightseeing for the people from inside and outside of the country that many good sites are mostly dominated by sightseers.

But if you come choosing this season, you can surely have the scenery all  to yourself.

Actually when I visited here, I was the only one. I sat on Japanese veranda enjoying the time passing.

This temple was founded by the first shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, as a training and learning school. In 1667, the temple was moved here from the precinct of Sokokuji temple.

This garden has a lot of maple trees and in Autumn, the view from inside of the room is beautiful.

Behind the trees, there is a pond with bamboo trees next to it.
