This photograph captures the light shining on the maple trees along the beautiful approach to the temple, creating a picture that evokes the brilliance of nature. The autumn foliage at Kozen-in is not limited to the temple grounds; the approach to the temple is also a must-see. As soon as you step onto the approach, you will see vivid maple trees on both sides, coloring the sky, and above your head, a tunnel of autumn leaves woven by nature. Fallen leaves spread out all around your feet, making a pleasant crunching sound as you walk along the path. Whenever the wind blows, red and yellow leaves flutter and fall, creating a sense of serenity and beauty, as if the season is speaking to you. This approach to the temple is ideal for a quiet time, and walking in the fresh morning air or in the soft evening light will allow you to appreciate the beauty of the autumn leaves even more.
