About Tofuku-ji Temple
Tofukuji is a temple of the Rinzai Tofukuji sect. The beginning of the history of Tofukuji is that the Kujoumichiie, who was regent at the time in 1236, took single character from the name of Todaiji and Kofukuji in Nara and erected the temple under the name Tofukuji.
Tofukuji’s specialty is the autumnal leaves, and it crowds with a lot of autumn foliage spectators in late autumn season. The corridor, especially called Tsutenkyo, is a great highlight of the foliage surrounded by many red leaves. I thought that the Tofukuji was the most splendid as foliage spot in Kyoto as the impression of the author who had variously looked around Kyoto.
Many people come to this temple to take pictures with their cameras. It is prohibited to take pictures using a monopod or a tripod, so take care. In addition, I have not entered, but there is also a splendid Japan garden called Honbo Garden.

Recommended places to visit in conjunction with
The area around Kyoto station
When I arrived at Kyoto Station in Jr, the first thing I saw was Kyoto station. The area around Kyoto station was undeveloped and there were few places to play, but in recent years, the area has been re-developed and there are many places to enjoy.
Toji
Toji is the head of Toji Shingon and is also called "Kyouougokokuji." Its upbringing is said to have been erected by Fujiwara-no-isendo in 796 after Heian-Kyo capital.
Fushimi Inari Taisha
The Grand Shrine of "Inari-san", which exists all over the country, is Fushimi Inari Taisha. The history dates back to 711 in the Nara period. Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine has a main hall at the foot of Inari Mountain, and the entire Inariyama is the site.
