京都　圓光寺　🌸枝垂れ桜🌸

I visited this temple with a friend to see their fall leaves and it was absolutely stunning. Their traditional rock garden was also quite lovely to behold. They also had many flowers, and even a pet cemetery!

More of the leaves in a variety of colors.

The temple itself also had beautiful painted doors, and these metal printing blocks for the heart sutra which was neat to see.

Finally, up in the mountains they had a Tōshōgū shrine, which is a shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, where I got a stunning view of the landscape and got a great photo in a bamboo forest

And finally the Goshuin, which was a two page spread with autumn leaves and a picture of the thousand armed Kannon!
