A famous autumn foliage spot near Kyoto! Ohara with a long history <Sanzenin>

Kyoto is beautiful in autumn, but there are so many people that it's hard to walk..😭 This trip, I went to Ohara, which has fewer tourists! It's a pretty mountain village that reminds me of Sen and Chihiro😍 It takes about 50 minutes by bus from Gion Shijo, but if you can get a seat because there are no transfers, you'll arrive surprisingly quickly😊 (Take bus no. 17 or 19 to the final stop) When you get off the bus and go up the road to Sanzen-in, you'll see restaurants and shops✨ There were more Japanese restaurants and dessert shops than I thought! We first ate at the Japanese restaurant at the entrance of the village, but it was more expensive than I thought😳 There are many restaurants with much better value for money near the entrance of Sanzenin, so I recommend going all the way up and choosing🥲 The way up is also full of Ghibli emotions~ The best part is that there were not many people, so I could focus only on the scenery💕 If you pay 500 yen at the main building of Sanzenin and sit in a paid seat, they will bring you warm matcha and yokan! The matcha was just the right amount of bitterness for my taste! Since it was a temple built in 784, it felt overwhelming, and the trees were also huge! The scenery is beautiful and the air is good~🍃 I want to go again with my parents next time✨ Operating hours: March~October 09:00-17:00 / November 08:30-17:00 / December~February 09:00-16:30 Admission: Adults 700 yen / Middle school and high school students 400 yen / Elementary school students 150 yen Address: 540 Ohararaikoincho, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, 601-1242 Japan #KyotoTravel #KyotoFallFoliage #JapanTravel #FallFoliagePlaces #KyotoSuburbs
