Kyoto Autumn Color Leaves (4) in Shisendo temple

I would like to introduce the beautiful Autumn color leaves in Kyoto Shisendo temple where I visited recently.

Shisendo temple is located in the north side of Kyoto named Ichijyoji and branch temple of Eiheiji as Soto sect head quarter.

This house is the remain of mountain villa where Ishiyama Jyozan had used to build and live for his retired life. He was famous for writing who had served to Ieyasu Tokugawa, Shogunate of Edo period (1602-1867).



This Chinese style garden which was designed by Jyozan consists of white sand, green trees planted and about 500 numbers of maple trees of autumn color leaves with waterfall sound spread.

This garden is designed to be seen as flame garden from the temple room. The room poll and lintel are used for the flame.




You can appreciate the Autumn color leaves while strolling the garden.
