The autumn foliage season is at its peak, and the maple trees at tourist spots in Kyoto are becoming more and more colorful each day. On November 25, 2023, when the weather was getting even colder, many vacationers visited the Arashiyama area in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City, and enjoyed the late autumn scenery.

Approximately 300 maple trees adorned the grounds of Tenryuji Temple, a World Heritage Site in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City. The morning of that day was cloudy with occasional rain, but in the garden, which used Arashiyama as a backdrop, the trees formed a gradation of red and yellow. The leaves were clearly reflected in the garden's pond, and visitors were frequently pointing their cameras at them. According to Tenryu-ji Temple, the best time to see them will continue until around December 3rd.
