Photos around the Arashiyama (嵐山) area of Kyōto with many paths undisturbed by urban bustle, in other words, lots of nature and culture. During this season of changing leaves it is especially beautiful.

Photo captions:
1. The fabled Moon-Crossing Bridge (渡月橋) with egrets (白鷺) and blue herons (青鷺) soaring above.
2. Decorative maple tree leaves at their red peak.
3. Pampas grass, red maple leaves, and a little bridge over a lotus pond at the Zen temple Tenryūji (天龍寺).
4. In the renowned bamboo grove of Arashiyama, make sure to look up.

Intuition pointed to where I would most enjoy Kyōto today after a long time. The Ōkōchi Sansō (大河内山荘) is the former villa of a silent movie star, with traditional architecture like tea houses developed thoughtfully over a period of 30 years. It has a strolling garden that winds up to the top of a hillside in Arashiyama. I therefore expected to catch at least some changing leaves, but they were at all stages and colors in a dazzling display on a clear day!

Sekizan Zenin Temple🍁

Nestled in the foothills of northern Kyoto, Sekizan Zenin is a sub-temple of Enryakuji founded in 888. It enshrines Sekizan Myōjin, the guardian deity of the Tendai school, and stands in the northeast “kimon” direction of the Imperial Palace—long believed to protect the city.

The temple is also a serene spot for viewing autumn foliage, with beautiful maple leaves lining the approach and within the precincts.

What's blossoming in early autumn at the Kyōto Botanical Gardens? I can only post a few photos, but the water lilies are lasting way after the summer, and I've never seen the type in the last photo. There were also wide, round lily pads not shown here that looked artificial because they were so neatly turned up on the outer edges like round cookie pans. I'll post that and more if people would like me to. Outside the huge park, the first photo is of one of the Kamo river's regulars, an egret (no regret!), from a pretty close but respectful distance, with a view of the surrounding greenery and northern mountains. The Gardens used to be free for anyone over 70 by showing my Japanese driver's license. Now it's a thousand yen for a yearly pass (about U.S $7), so going 4+ times, it gets cheaper. Access by subway. It has different attractions nearly year round.

I had never been to the famous Rokkaku-dō (六角堂), because it's in the central business district of Kyōto where I rarely go. But after I met the Imperial family member in charge of it and the Ikenobō (池坊) national flower arrangement organization, I decided to go. The Rokkaku-dō building was in such a small and crowded but charming courtyard that it was difficult to get a photo of it. After seeing the large Ikenobō building, I thought why not try to thank Ikenobō Yasuko-sama for the elegant calendar she had given me at a concert. A smile, polite attitude, and fluent Japanese got me through the guard, building receptionist, and to her secretary, but she was away in Tōkyō. I declined the offer to leave my calling card, because it was a small thing to bother them all with. I left with everyone on friendly terms.
