5. Ruriko-in
A hidden gem in northern Kyoto, Ruriko-in offers an unconventional spectacle during autumn with the reflection of momiji leaves on a large black lacquered table. The play of light transforms the site into a veritable painting! It’s a scene that attracts crowds and sometimes requires a bit of waiting before you can access it.

6. Enko-ji
Enko-ji is famous for its maple garden. In autumn, the contrast between the white gravel, green moss, and red leaves creates a scene that sticks with all who see it. From the heights, you can also admire the Kyoto cityscape.
