To-ji (Kyoogokoku-ji)

It's lit up fascinatingly in the evening. Contest of national treasure, Five-storied pagoda and colored leaves is highlights.

Temple with the five-storied pagoda where you can be proud of the best of Japan height as wooden pagoda and also say a symbol of Kyoto (national treasure). I say good location within the walking range from Kyoto station, and it's tourist attraction where it takes pride in its outstanding popularity at the city.

The cultural value as the remains in the Heian castle town to stay only in Kyoto is estimated, and it's registered by World heritage as "cultural assets of ancient city Kyoto" in 1994 (1994).

About 250 maples are planted in a wide precinct, and it's possible to see collaboration of a historic landmark and colored leaves in a late fall. In particular, the contest of colored leaves around the gourd (gourd) pond in the center of the Izumi Ike tour garden and Five-storied pagoda is must-see.

A light up of colored leaves, Golden Hall and lecture hall night special inspection are being held from ordinary year November to the middle of December. The form that Five-storied pagoda is fanned into shine and floats on darkness in the evening is very fascinating. The colored leaves lit up are to be reflective in a surface of the water in a pond, and fantastic one can be put in photograph.
