In autumn, when Yakuoin Temple is covered in autumn leaves, it looks as if the entire mountain has been dyed in prayer. The vermilion main hall overlaps with golden maple trees, and the expression changes depending on how the light shines through. The best time to visit is in the morning when fallen leaves are dancing on the stone pavement of the approach to the temple. This is the moment when you can feel the change of the season in the tranquility of the place.
