This photo was taken to capture the soft brightness of the light shining on the approach to the temple, which is beautifully illuminated by the maple leaves. The approach to Kanakura-in Temple, decorated with autumn leaves, is a special place where one can fully feel the arrival of autumn. The maple trees planted on both sides of the approach turn bright red and orange, creating a scene as if one is being welcomed by a carpet of autumn leaves. The sound of crunching footsteps as you walk along the path covered with fallen leaves is pleasant, allowing you to enjoy the serenity of autumn and the beauty of nature. Moreover, when the sun shines through the trees, the autumn leaves glow in the light, creating an even more magical atmosphere. The combination of the historic Kanakura-in Temple and the autumn leaves will provide visitors with a moment of peace and tranquility.
