Red and Green

I found this beautiful nanten shrub at Okazaki Betsuin Temple late in the autumn. Nanten shrubs always show a pleasing combination of red and green.

Quietness

As Okazaki Betsuin Temple was not a tourist site it was filled with quietness.

Autumn palette

I was just stunned when I encountered this marvellous set of autumn trees at Okazaki Jinja Shrine.

Beautiful wall

This is a wooden wall of Bishamondo Temple which shows a striking vermilion-teal contrast.

Beautiful exterior

This is the main hall of Bishamondo Temple, the exterior of which looks new and is beautiful.

Blue sky

Instead of coloured leaves I was welcomed with the perfect blue sky when I visited Bishamondo Temple late in the autumn.

Quiet autumn

As I visited Yamashina Shoten Temple [a sub-temple of Bishamondo Temple] after autumn foliage season I was able to enjoy very quiet autumn with red nanten fruits there.

Waiting for customers

Arashiyama is also a good place to enjoy rowing on a still river.

Exclusively for fallen leaves

These steps at Horinji Temple were just exclusively for fallen leaves.
