I thought Rurikoin Temple would open at ten in the morning, and my original plan was to come and wait at nine-thirty. But when I came to Kyoto from Korankei, I was an hour and a half late because there were no reserved seats. I arrived after eleven o'clock, and I saw this when I got off the bus. WHAT?! You can guess the meaning just by looking at the Chinese characters... You have to wait about 3 hours to enter the Rurikoin Temple...

I looked at the map and walked in the direction of Liuliguangyuan. I doubted for a second what kind of queue it was. After looking at it clearly, I realized that it was actually a queue selling tickets. I quickly came in and queued up.

I arrived at around eleven in the morning, and tickets were already sold until three in the afternoon. I bought the tickets directly here. There is a sorting ticket at three in the afternoon on the ticket. You can only visit during this time.

There are so many people that when you go in, tickets are issued in advance according to time slots. I just bought the tickets and I was still there to take them. When I turned around, tickets were issued at 3:30, so people who come later may be You can't even buy a ticket or get in, so if you want to come to Liuliguangyuan, don't just come in the afternoon!

After buying the ticket, I walked back to the station to get on the bus. I went to eat first. The way to the station was quite beautiful.

See you next article for lunch. 【Super rich tsukemen, super juicy fried chicken! 】

After lunch, we went to Yuanguang Temple again, more tomorrow. [Enkwangji Temple, beautiful maple leaves in the courtyard. 】

Enkoji Temple is also very beautiful, so I made a mistake in time control and hurried back It was already past three o'clock when I arrived at Rurikoin Temple. Fortunately, there were still many people queuing at the door and not all of them had gone in, even though tickets had been sold in different time periods. Once you get in, you still have to queue up and slowly people come in one after another.

The tickets are so beautiful too!

The entrance is very discreet.

As soon as you enter, you can see such a tall maple tree.

As soon as you come in, go up to the second floor immediately.

Anyone who looks at the darkness will know that this is the place where the most famous scene of Rurikoin is located.

Then I stood behind the crowd. There were staff around the table to maintain order. Because they were afraid that the people in front would block the people behind, they asked everyone not to stand, so they had to kneel forward and surround the table full of people. , move forward row by row, and those in the first row around the table can only take photos for 30 seconds! This is really too exaggerated! I had no choice but to quickly adjust the camera while moving forward.

Finally arrived at the first row, why do we have to take pictures around the table? Because there is a reflective object on the table, and the maple leaves reflected on the table are really super beautiful! However... we only have 30 seconds to take pictures, so quickly take pictures of the front, left and right sides, and it's over. You can only get up and leave.

I walked to the window and took my time to take pictures, but it’s a pity that the maple leaves on the tree on the left have almost fallen off. TTTTT

Actually, it’s not around the table. It’s nice to walk to the edge and take pictures!

There is something blocking it here, so you can't move forward to block the people who are taking pictures at the table.

Walking to the first floor, there are many people copying scriptures here.

The floors are clean enough to reflect light!

When I came back outside, the sun happened to hit the maple leaves again, and the golden light shone.

The various color transitions are the most beautiful!

There are so many people inside, but the outside is actually very beautiful and you can take photos without anyone there.

Let’s go. Although I’m a little confused because of the 30-second time limit for taking pictures, I have to admit that Ruriko-in Temple is really beautiful!

On the way to the station, there was still a steady stream of people walking to Liuliguangyuan.

How come the various colors are so beautiful!

Back at the station, I wanted to take pictures of the tram and maple leaves.

This one feels so great!

Head to the next stop, Eizan Electric Maple Tunnel.
