Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), a three-story pavilion with its exterior walls covered in gold leaf, is reflected brilliantly in the Mirror Pond. Surrounded by autumn foliage, it appears even more solemn and elegant, making it one of Kyoto's most famous spots for viewing fall foliage.
Togetsukyo Bridge, a landmark spanning the Katsura River, is picturesque in all four seasons. In autumn, the red leaves reflected in the water and the mountain views from the bridge are truly poetic, making it a stunning starting point for the Arashiyama area.
Tenryu-ji Temple is a World Heritage Site, and its Zen-inspired garden, Sogenchi Garden, is considered a masterpiece of Japanese gardens. In autumn, surrounded by vibrant red leaves, the magnificent "Dragon in the Clouds" mural in the Dharma Hall adds to the serene and solemn atmosphere.
Arashiyama Bamboo Forest Path is a 500-meter-long trail lined with lush bamboo groves. With swaying bamboo shadows and the clear sound of the wind, it has been recognized as one of the "100 Best Sounds in Japan" and is Arashiyama's most representative natural landscape.
Jojakko-ji Temple is located at the foot of Mount Ogura. In autumn, the mountain is ablaze with red leaves, and the temple is nestled amidst the vibrant colors of the forest. Known for its tranquil atmosphere, it is an excellent place to escape the hustle and bustle and quietly appreciate the autumn scenery.
Arashiyama Night Autumn Foliage Train (Sagano Scenic Train): A limited-time nighttime train for viewing autumn leaves, where the illuminated maple forests along the route create a dreamlike scene. Ride in the quaint carriages and experience the romance and seasonal charm of Arashiyama in the autumn night.
