Eikando Temple, Temple(Kyoto, Japan)永観堂★★★
永観堂の紅葉綺麗ですねぇ。
次の写真は寿橋を渡ったところで撮ったものです。なんとも美しい景観ですよね。周囲の方も皆さんあまりの美しさに見入っている感じでした。
永観堂には七不思議があり、これらを見て回るのも楽しいですね。ちなみに気をつけて見て回らないと結構見逃しやすいと思います(^o^)
What wonderful autumn leaves in Eikando Temple.
The next photo was taken after crossing Kotobuki Bridge. It is so beautiful scenery, isn't it. The people around me also seemed to be attracted by extremely beautiful scenery.
Eikando Temple has seven wonders, and it's fun to look around them. By the way, it is recommended to look around carefully seven wonders, because it's easy to pass by without seeing.
↓総門
↓Soumon Gate
↓中門
↓Chumon Gate
↓古方丈
↓Kohojo Hall
↓古方丈にある孔雀の間。向かって左側の欄間には雀が5羽描かれているのに対し、右側の欄間には雀が4羽しか描かれておらず、1羽は飛び去って行ったのだそう。(七不思議のうちの一つ目)
↓The Peacock Room in Kohojo Hall. Five sparrows are drawn on the left side of the transom in this room, while only four sparrows are drawn on the right side of the transom in this room. It has been said that one of sparrows on the right side of the transom has taken life and flown away. (First one of seven wonders)
古方丈の次に瑞紫殿があり、ここに応仁の乱の戦火を逃れ奇跡的に焼け残った火除けの阿弥陀があります。(七不思議のうちの二つ目)
Next to Kohojo Hall is Zuishiden Hall, which has Hiyoke-no-amida(a statue of Amida)miraculously surviving the fires of the Onin War. (Second one of seven wonders)
↓釈迦堂から唐門を見たところ。この写真の左奥に小さく見える灯籠の脇に悲田梅があります。
↓View of Karamon Gate from Shakadou Hall. There is Hidenbai(plum tree)next to the stone lantern which can be seen in the back left side of this photo.
↓悲田梅。この悲田梅は結構見落としがちだと思いますが、苔むした様子がかなり立派で一見の価値ありです。(七不思議のうちの三つ目)
↓Hidenbai(plum tree). This Hidenbai is really worth seeing because the moss-covered appearance showing its age is quite excellent, although I think it's easy to pass without seeing. (Third one of seven wonders)
↓御影堂の奥からは岩垣もみじが見えます。(七不思議のうちの四つ目)
↓We can see Iwagaki Maple from back side of Mieido Hall. (Fourth one of seven wonders)
↓三鈷の松(七不思議のうちの五つ目)。かなり背の高い松で上まで撮るのに苦労しました(汗)
↓Sanko-no-matsu(pine tree). (Fifth one of seven wonders) I had a hard time photographing the top of this tree because of very tall tree.
三鈷の松の周辺に棲む蛙の鳴き声は、木魚を叩いているかのように聞こえるそう。(七不思議のうちの六つ目)
The croaking of the frogs that live around the Sanko-no-matsu is said to sound like beating Mokugyo(wooden drum used in a Buddhist temple). (Sixth one of seven wonders)
↓水琴窟。
↓Suikinkutsu
↓臥龍廊。(七不思議のうちの七つ目)
↓Garyuro(Dragon shaped corridor). (Seventh one of seven wonders)
↓正面は、みかえり阿弥陀のまつられる阿弥陀堂。阿弥陀堂を出ると階段を下るのですが、もみじが立ち込めていてここもまたなかなか美しい景観です。
↓The front building is Amidado Hall where Mikaeri-Amida is enshrined. After leaving the Amidado Hall, we go down this stairs, and we can have a great view here again to see maple trees here and there.
↓多宝塔に登る途中で再び臥龍廊の脇を通ります。
↓On the way to climb Tahoto Tower, we pass by Garyuro again.
↓多宝塔

Autumnal Adventures: Chasing Fall Colors in Nature
As summer bids farewell and temperatures start to cool, nature transforms into a breathtaking canvas of warm hues. Autumn, with its vibrant foliage and crisp air, beckons adventurers to immerse themselves in the beauty of fall colors. Embarking on a journey to witness the changing leaves can be a magical experience, and there are numerous destinations around the world that offer a spectacular display of autumnal glory.
1. New England, USA: The Epitome of Fall Foliage
Renowned for its picturesque landscapes, New England stands out as a quintessential destination for fall enthusiasts. States like Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine boast an awe-inspiring tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows. Take a scenic drive through the Kancamagus Highway or explore the charming villages of Woodstock and Stowe for an authentic New England fall experience.
2. Kyoto, Japan: Serenity in Autumn Splendor
In Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, fall is a time when the city's historic temples and gardens become adorned with the fiery hues of maple leaves. Kiyomizu-dera and Eikando Zenrinji are particularly enchanting during this season, providing a tranquil setting to witness the elegance of Japanese autumn.
3. The Lake District, England: Reflecting Autumn's Beauty
The Lake District in England transforms into a poetic landscape during fall. The combination of reflective lakes and the surrounding hills painted in autumnal tones creates a serene and picturesque atmosphere. Explore the trails around Derwentwater or Windermere to witness the magical interplay of water and fall foliage.
4. The Dolomites, Italy: Alpine Splendor in Autumn
For those seeking a mountainous adventure, the Dolomites in Italy offer a unique blend of alpine beauty and fall colors. The jagged peaks, complemented by the golden hues of larch trees, create a mesmerizing contrast. Hike through the Alpe di Siusi or drive along the Great Dolomites Road for an unforgettable autumnal experience.
5. Blue Mountains, Australia: A Southern Hemisphere Delight
While autumn in the Northern Hemisphere is synonymous with fall foliage, the Southern Hemisphere has its own version of this season. In the Blue Mountains of Australia, the eucalyptus trees undergo a subtle transformation, casting a bluish haze over the landscape. The Wentworth Falls and Govetts Leap provide stunning vantage points to admire the autumnal beauty.
Tips for a Memorable Autumnal Adventure:
Plan your trip during the peak of fall foliage for the most vibrant colors.
Pack layers to stay comfortable in the changing temperatures.
Capture the beauty with a camera, but also take moments to simply immerse yourself in the surroundings.
Research local festivals or events that celebrate autumn to enhance your experience.
Embarking on an autumnal adventure to chase fall colors in nature is a soul-stirring journey. Whether you choose the classic charm of New England, the tranquility of Kyoto, the rugged beauty of the Dolomites, or the unique Southern Hemisphere experience in the Blue Mountains, each destination promises a palette of colors that will leave an indelible mark on your memories. So, lace up your boots, grab your camera, and embrace the enchanting beauty of autumn.

[2022-11-20] Unreal Eikando Momiji (Night) Sometimes, targeted advertisements do have their benefits. Whilst going through my emails, I noticed an email that listed a few local events I would be likely interested in. One of them was called Unreal Fest West '22. On a whim, I registered and then forgot about it until I received a reminder that it would be happening the next weekend. Thus, an impromptu trip to Kyoto ensued. Often, these small exhibitions seem to make use of university grounds instead of a dedicated hall; this one was no exception. Several classrooms were decorated with small booths, and a large lecture room was used for, well, lectures. The first floor had some indie games (in development) that used the Unreal Engine. Of course I ended up visiting all the booths, giving all the games a try and provided some feedback here and there. The second floor had some businesses which used Unreal Engine ranging from 3D home modeling to vocal input based mouth animation. They also sold some merch so I picked up a sweater with a fancy Unreal logo on the back, all set for winter now. At the end of the hall, they were displaying the results of a mini Game Jam that they did prior to this event. Definitely gets me interested in game developing if it weren't for the fact I already have a full-time stable job. The third floor with the lecture room had some presentations by some high profile people: Lead developers talking about Valkyie Elysium, King of Fighters XV and Live-a-Live among others. I ended up listening through the whole lecture of the difficulties regarding the HD-2D art style in the Live-A-Live remake. Turns out they really went out of their way to maintain crispy sprite animations! I didn't just want to leave Kyoto after a single event, so I looked for some specific temples that are famous for "Momiji", autumn foliage colors. Eikando Temple apparently has a limited night time viewing during the autumn season. Quite the waiting line, but afterwards I was rewarded with scenery that I've never seen before. Definitely worth checking out! #unrealfestwest #永観堂 #禅林寺 #夜の特別拝観 #もみじのライトアップ #紅葉 #eikando #zenrinji #momiji #japanphoto #pixel6pro https://www.instagram.com/p/CouEv06LpJG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
