Scenery of the doorway of Hohgon-in Temple

" Sea of bitterness" (Empty Pond) and " Triumvirate stone in a cloud"

A carpet of the moss spreads out

After passing through "Shishi-iwa (a lion rock)", you will see a maple tree
with bright colored leaves beside a brook.

This path from this Hohgon-in temple to Tenryuji temple is called "The approaches of maples",
and they have not changed their colors yet.

The degree of the change of colored leaves in front of the main hall is about 60%.

The scenery of flows, what we call "Yarimizu", in the garden is attractive.

In the peak of colored leaves, the outskirts of the lion rock is changed into bright red.

"The approach of maples" becomes a bright red tunnel in the peak of colored leaves.

Some nice colored  scenery, as folloes

The peak of colored leaves is from the end of November to the beginning of December.

Really has it just begun.
