All Reviews of Rurikoin Temple

A popular spot during fall foliage season 🍁, although we didn’t make it for the fall colors 🍁
In early autumn, we took the Eizan train up the mountain. The scenery and air along the way were so refreshing. Although the crowds made it hard to fully appreciate the beautiful changes in light at the mirrored glass table area 😊, the photo opportunities and the Japanese garden aesthetics with lush green moss along the way made us forget all our worries! Worth a visit.

The fall foliage at Rurikoin is truly as beautiful as a painting!
The red, orange, and yellow maple leaves reflected on the polished tabletop make the whole scene look like it was carefully painted. Every photo turns out beautiful! Sitting inside and quietly admiring the leaves, it felt like time slowed down. Seeing it in person was truly stunning, and it was one of the most memorable places for fall foliage in Kyoto.

It's not open every day, and during the autumn leaves season it gets super crowded. You can sit down, have some tea, and slowly enjoy the countryside views.

During the fall foliage season, there are so many people that you have to line up to get in. Inside the temple, everything is spotless, and you can even catch beautiful reflections.
