The maple leaves that I’ve seen so far were pretty disappointing due to the hot weather this year so I was looking for a place near Fukuoka that had bright red maple leaves and found this place.

The place is not really accessible via public transportation so I had to take a taxi at the nearest station. But It was soooo worth it! I spend half a day here because the garden behind the temple is pretty big.

You can see bright red autumn leaves here with a mixture of orange and yellow. It was so beautiful that I wanted to cry. I would definitely visit this place again. I’m pretty sure it would be more beautiful by early December when there’s a carpet of autumn leaves.

I also had matcha with sweets in the morning. It was perfect while watching the autumn leaves. I also had a bowl of udon before leaving the place. It was honestly one of the best udons that I had. I still think about it till this day. It really hits the spot.
