The season of colored leaves starts about the middle of November.
It goes down from the mountain to the down town little by little.
The sights of popular as Tofukuji-temple,Eikando temple,and Tenryuji temple are crowded with a lot of people.So ,I recommend Entsuji temple at Sakyo-ku Iwakura.
You can enjoy the harmony of the dry landscape garden and colored maple leaves at there.
