Konkai-Komyoji Temple is packed with autumn foliage highlights, including the Purple Cloud Garden, making it a recommended spot compared to other Kyoto foliage viewing spots. 📍The peak season for autumn foliage is usually from mid-November to early December, when the north and south sides of the temple gate are beautifully colored with crimson leaves. 🍁The temple grounds are dotted with other autumn foliage highlights, including the inner garden, Purple Cloud Garden, which is open to the public only during the fall. From November 15th (Sat) to December 7th (Sun), 2025, a special daytime viewing period will be held, during which the temple gate, offering a panoramic view of the city, will also be open to the public. The contrast between the impressive mountain gate and the crimson maple trees is a must-see! 🍁 From Saturday, November 15, 2025 to Sunday, December 7, 2025, there will be a special nighttime viewing period, during which the autumn leaves will be illuminated. 💡
