Enkoji Temple

圓光寺 via Google Maps

Enkoji Temple is a peaceful Rinzai Zen retreat nestled near northern Kyoto's Shugakuin Imperial Villa. Revered for its exquisite traditional gardens, the grounds transform into a fiery sea of red and gold during peak autumn foliage in late November. Visitors can relax on tatami mats overlooking the vibrant courtyard, stroll among graceful moss features, and soak in the meditative atmosphere of this historic gem.
