This photo captures the feeling of a "maple tunnel glistening in the morning sun" at Kinzō-in Temple.

This photograph captures the scene of morning sunlight streaming through the tunnel of maple trees lining the approach path, aiming to convey its ethereal atmosphere. The approach path at Kinzō-in Temple, enveloped in autumn foliage, is a captivating spot where you can fully savor the mood of autumn. Maple trees lining both sides of the path are dyed in vivid reds and oranges, painting a beautiful scene like an arch created by nature.Walking along the path carpeted with fallen leaves, the pleasant crunch of footsteps underfoot allows you to experience the changing seasons with all your senses. During the soft light of morning or evening, the autumn leaves appear even more beautiful, enveloping the entire approach in a dreamlike glow. The scenery woven from the quiet of historic Kinzō-in Temple and the autumn foliage offers visitors deep healing and peace of mind.
