🍁 Iwatō Momiji Shrine + Takao Sanji + Kifune Shrine
This year, Kyoto has been cold later than usual, and the areas of Takano and the north that were usually not visible in late November have become the main attractions. 🌸🌺🌿 🚌🌤️ This morning, I took the JR Bus from Kyoto Station to Ono-go to capture a lesser-known spot, Iwatō Momiji Shrine. As the name suggests, the feature here is the ground covered in ginkgo leaves! 🌿 🌸🌺🌿 🍂 The notice says that the leaves will be cleared on 11/26, so those interested can go and check it out ; Then, I took the JR Bus to Takao Mountain Temple and walked to Saimyōji and Jingūji temples. 🌸 🌸🌺🌿 🌺 The weather was on our side, and around noon, the maple leaves at Takano Sanji were stunningly beautiful, with red, yellow, and blue colors interwoven. 🌸🌺🌿 Sitting in the Ishiyan Pavilion, enjoying a bowl of noodles was truly a delight! 🍜🍁 Seeing that it was still early, I decided to visit Kifune Shrine, which is said to have lost its autumn leaves. 🌸🌺🌿 Since I was going to shoot the night view, the autumn leaves were secondary. 🌃 📸 I brought a very small tripod and managed to get a few shots. 🌸🌺🌿 This place was too crowded at night, and I couldn't even find a place to stand on the train. It was just a quick visit. #IwatōMomijiShrine #TakaoSanji #KifuneShrine
