Daigoji Temple

A Buddhist temple located in Fushimi Ward in Kyoto City and the head temple of the Daigo School of Shingon Sect Buddhism. In autumn, the leaves on the temple's maples, ginkgoes, and konara oaks turn crimson and gold, flamboyantly decorating its 6.62 million square meter grounds. The temple's trees are also lit up at night. The sight of the fall foliage gorgeously illuminated amidst the temple's solemn atmosphere is truly stunning.
