Kyoto’s beautiful temples and shrines such as Tō-ji Temple, Imamiya Shrine, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple become even more amazing when the fall season arrives. The changing of the leaves, the brisk chill in the air, and delicious seasonal foods all combine to make a trip to Kyoto an unforgettable event. Come along on an autumn journey filled with ancient temples, stylish traditional streets, tasty treats, and breathtaking natural scenery. Conveniently accesible from both Tokyo and Osaka, the month of November is the best season of the year for viewing the vibrant red maple leaves in Kyoto.
