It’s still a while before the scheduled Arashiyama train departs, so I’ll come to visit Jojikoji Temple, which is close to the station.

The ticket is a map, it's a big place and you have to climb a mountain.

I have experienced the previous Huaye Nenbutsu Temple [ Japanese maple viewing guide | Huanye Nenbutsu Temple, the best in Arashiyama! ]'s critical attack, now that I look at it here, I feel it's a bit weak, and the maple leaves are not as red and glowing as before.

It looks great falling into the water!

Start climbing...

You can overlook Kyoto.

There are no high-rise buildings, just small houses. It feels really great!

This one really looks like an anime scene!

This tower is a landmark attraction of Changjiguang Temple.

Passing by a thin layer of ginkgo carpet.

The area of ​​Changjikwang Temple is quite large. If there are many people, it will be dispersed and not feel crowded. After a while, you can take pictures of this scene without people. However, because the Huaye Nenbutsu Temple in front is so shocking, compared with this place, it feels relatively ordinary. It is recommended that Huaye Nenbutsu Temple be left at the end of the Lanshan route.
