<\/p>\nSightseeing in Kyoto in autumn is about Autumn leaves.
\nIt is the most popular season for tourists.
\nWe would like to introduce Rurikoin temple which has been gaining traction on social media for a while.
\nThe mysterious view of autumn leaves,reflected on the desk on the 2nd floor of shoin hall, is especially famous.
\nYou may have seen it once.
\nRurikoin Temple was closed to the public until 2015 in order to protect cultural properties.
\nIt has been open seasonally to the public since then.
\nRurikoin Temple will be open to the public on specific days(from October 1st to December 10th) in this autumn.<\/p>\n
Rurikoin Temple is located in Yase at the foot of Mt. Hiei.
\nLegend has it that Emperor Tenmu, injured in the Jinshin War, healed his wounds in the Yase no Kamaburo.
\nIt was loved as a home of peace for many samurai and aristocrats.
\nThere are three types of gardens within Vast grounds measuring 12,000 tsubo.
\nOne of them, the Ruri-no-niwa, is covered with dozens of different types of moss and appears to be glowing green.
\nThe name ‘Rurikoin’ is derived from the garden.
\nThe autumn leaves of the Ruri-no-niwa are reflected on the polished floor and desks on the 2nd floor of shoin hall.
\nThe mystical sight is amazingly beautiful.
\nIt is also called the phantom autumn leaves, because it is difficult to see a similar sight at other famous spots for autumn leaves.
\nIf you place your camera on the desk and take pictures, you can take good pictures of the reflection of the autumn leaves on the desk, so be sure to give it a try.
\nThe best time to see the autumn leaves at Rurikoin Temple is usually from late November to early December.
\nOther attractions include the Garyu Garden and the tea room, and you can even try your hand at sutra copying.
