Eikan-do of autumn colors Eikan-do hall said to be Autumn leaves are late in 2024 Even in late November, the gradation with the green leaves is also beautiful And it's not just about seeing the garden. Please enter the Amida hall. I want you to appreciate the Amida in return. When I visited before, I could only see the front (a long time ago) Now there are windows on the sides. I can see your face when you look back.

Since I didn't go during the cherry blossom period, nor in the autumn season which seems to cause an explosion of the colors of the trees, although I appreciated it, I didn't consider it among the most fascinating temple complexes in Kyoto, but there's no question that it is beautiful. Interesting is the fact that the different buildings that compose it (only some of which can be visited) are scattered throughout a forest. The pagoda stands out, from which you can enjoy a panoramic view - and this is probably what pushes many tourists to pay more attention to it than to Nanzen-ji.

I wasn't familiar with this temple but I had seen it recommended in a travel guide. It was on the way from the silver pavilion so we dropped by. I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful this temple was. It's very spacious so you will need some time to explore everything. Unlike Ginkakuji, this temple was almost empty, so we could really enjoy the serene atmosphere.

"Eikando" is famous for its autumn colors, but "Eikando" is also colored with fresh green green maple. I can't find the words to describe it. There are many attractions such as the "Shaka-do Hall", the "Miei-do Hall" and the "Amida-do Hall" which are connected through the central gate and by a corridor that takes advantage of the height difference leading from the main entrance of the hall of worship. Among them, the "Mikaeri Amida" which is the principal image of the "Amida-do Hall" can be visited from the front and the side in an unusual figure that tilts its head 90 degrees to the left. Also, don't miss the Seven Wonders of Eikan-do Hall such as 'Hida-bai' and 'Sanko-no-matsu' and 'Garyu-ro' made of kumiki without using nails. In addition, the garden facing various halls, the Chisen Kaiyu style garden centered on 'Hojo-ike Pond', and the Tahoto Pagoda overlooking the large precincts and overlooking the townscape of Kyoto were truly stunning, covered in fresh green green maples.

I hadn’t read too much about this temple but was extremely impressed with it. The grounds were beautiful and there were some incredible interior altars. It was much larger than I anticipated and everything was first rate. It’s at the bottom of the Philosopher’s Walk and should not be missed.
