Tentang lokasi ini: Tofuku-ji
Tofuku-ji, kuil kepala Rinzai Zen yang didirikan tahun 1236, adalah salah satu tempat dedaunan musim gugur paling terkenal di Kyoto. Pemandangan dari jembatan Tsuten-kyo atas lautan 2.000 pohon maple mendefinisikan musim gugur Jepang. Hijau segar awal musim panas sama menyegarkannya.
