Eikando temple is very famous for its autumn colors.
It was founded in 853 in Kyoto city and they have variety of old buildings.
There are 3,000 maple trees that turn to amazing colors in November.
Especially the view of Hojo Pond from an observatory deck is popular.
You can see a beautiful scenery with a small shrine on an island.

The observation deck was very crowded with people so it was so hard to take picture.

Evening illumination taken place in the fall is also beautiful.
The buildings and autumn leaves lit up at night are fantastic sights to see.
