From Nanzenji to Eikando...
This is the view that greeted me as I entered through the back door next to the nursery school

In terms of location, I think it is downstream from Hojo Pond, a large pond in the center of the temple grounds.

Since its founding, this place has been called "Maple Eikando" by many cultural figures...

A large pond in the center of the temple grounds is surrounded by maple trees, making it a spectacular spot! ! It is popular as a place to enjoy nature, but the scenery here is also beautiful and unobtrusive. I discovered this spot by chance! #Kyoto #Eikando #Autumn leaves spot #Hoshoike Pond #Pond #Reflexology #Spring 0 yen trip
