Beautiful Kyoto: Autumn 2016 Tō-ji [4K]

Kyoto’s autumn leaves (kōyō) are some of the most famous in the country, and one of the most popular places to view the changing colors is at Tō-ji temple. One of the first temples allowed in the newly founded city of Kyoto back in the late 700’s, Tō-ji is the home of the famous five-story pagoda that many tourists catch sight of on their way into the city by bullet train. On the grounds are several halls filled with gorgeous examples of Buddhist statuary, and when it comes to fall colors there’s no beating the sight of the pagoda rising up before a pond reflecting the bright colors of the season.
