I had just a few trip days left to burn earlier than the top of the yr, so I took one as we speak. And it turned out nicely, as a result of the climate was completely good and because of local weather change, ‘autumn colours’ in Japan have nearly come to imply winter colours. It is December 2nd and we’re nonetheless on the peak of colour in most components of the town, which might have been extraordinary not too way back.
You’ve got seen these locations earlier than, however I assumed I’d simply share just a few photographs. I’ve in all probability taken extra photographs in Honen-in than anyplace else on this planet, and though it is barely previous Koyo Peak there, Honen-in is rarely lower than good. It is my iibasshou if there ever was a spot, in all probability probably the most chic place I’ve ever visited. The remainder come from the Shinnyo-do space, an everyday spot within the fall foliage for me, as a result of regardless of being spectacular and fairly huge, it’s confusingly (and fortunately) under-touristy. And across the nook is little Eishoin, an ideal postage stamp of a temple that’s closed to the general public for a lot of the yr, however open for just a few weeks (irregularly) when the leaves sing.
