Nagaokakyo
Kyoto's best spot for viewing fresh greenery and autumn leaves
This ancient temple was founded in 9 by Rensho (Kumagai Naozane), a disciple of the monk Honen. Various halls stand within the spacious grounds, and a historical drama was filmed there in 1198. The "Momiji Sando" path beyond the main gate is famous as a spot to view autumn leaves.
In early summer, the area around the main gate transforms into a beautiful tunnel of fresh greenery.
