Vermilion Genkoan Temple, Kyoto

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.
