Western Lotus Temple

Seirenji|Golden Ginkgo Biloba and Quiet Precincts in Autumn

Taste the golden color of large ginkgo trees and the quiet autumn in the precincts of Seirenji Temple.

Seirenji Temple is a quiet temple recommended for photographing autumn leaves, as the large gingko trees on the temple grounds turn golden in autumn. In late autumn, the contrast with the blue sky is beautiful, and fallen leaves spread out like a carpet underfoot, creating a serene atmosphere where you can enjoy taking pictures while feeling the autumn atmosphere. Since the expression of the gingko trees changes depending on the way the light falls, visiting at different times of the day is also attractive, making this a spot where you can take your time and capture a special autumn photo.

Key points for photography

The best time to take photographs is when the yellow carpet of fallen gingko leaves is completed in the precincts of Seirenji Temple. A few days after the leaves have begun to fall are particularly beautiful, and a composition that includes even the foot of the leaves will emphasize the autumnal atmosphere.
