An awesome park secluded on a mountain. A bit of a hike to get to or you can just take the local bus over from the city. The autumn leaves are simply amazing.

This is a "must see" complex. Don't be in a hurry as it is very large. Preferably, hike in. There are many tracks getting you to-and-from the site but, if hiking or cycling isn't your preferred mode, you can always drive here or take the bus.Autumn ( October to December) is the best time as the colors are awesome.

Shouryakuji is the ancient temple which was built in 992 on the Bodaisen mountain in Nara. It is out of major tourist routes and may not be well known. Bodaisen had been a major holy city on which many temples were built in Heian period. Almost temples on Bodaisen were destroyed by Heike Nanto Yakiuchi fire. But Shouryakuji barely remained and has continued until now. We can enjoy a beautiful space and slow time in nature. When planning a Nara trip, why not try to visit Shouryakuji?

Shoryakuji Temple has more than 3000 maples in Yamauchi. I heard that it has been called Nishikinosato for a long time. It is a famous spot for autumn leaves. The red fruits of the southern sky can be seen here and there, like a flood of colors. I enjoyed autumn in the fresh air. The garden seen from Fukujuin is also excellent.

It is a temple that ranks in the top of the popularity of autumn leaves in Kansai. It's a little-known spot because it's in the suburbs of Nara City and it's not so crowded. However, there is a temporary bus from Nara Station during the autumn leaves season. There is also a temporary parking lot. The essential autumn leaves are beautiful. The statue of Yakushi Nyorai, a secret Buddha, was just open to the public. It is 500 yen, which is the same as the main hall. The parking fee is also 500 yen. Photography inside the building is prohibited, so I couldn't take pictures of the beautiful garden.
