I visited Genkoan Temple in Takagamine, Kyoto, around November 20th last year. The best time to see the autumn leaves differs each year, so it's quite hard to determine when to go! In short, you just have to take your chances and go when you can. You may be lucky, or unlucky. I was VERY lucky when I visited here; the autumn foliage was at its peak of beauty - perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime chance of good luck for me. It might never happen again my entire life.

The view from "Window of Satori" is really wonderful! Never had the chance to visit Kyoto during autumn, but I'm happy enough to enjoy them from your pictures, Hirose-san. Thank you for sharing this!

Excellent photos as always, Hirose-san! 'The Window of Satori' seems like the architect's interpretation of a "window to the soul", an inspiring framing of nature.
Lester-san,Thank you very much! You give me always happy words to me!

I personally love the "autumn leaves ablaze under high,blue sky"-it feels like the color composition of this photo is really good, and as for"window of satori'-it looks like a painting ;the one that you can see without blinking your eyes.
YULIANA-san,Thank you very much! The world to see from a window was splendid.
Radica-san,Thank you very much. I'm very happy.
