Beautiful autumn maple leaves at the “bamboo temple”?!
While Chikurin-ji's name means “bamboo forest temple,” it is also rather famous for the gorgeous vivid maple leaves in the autumn season
As you go through the wooden gate, the scenery changes into a marvel of autumn leaves and lush green moss! A five-story pagoda surrounded by red maple leaves is one of the most photogenic places in Kochi in this season
They also have beautiful Japanese-style gardens designed to be enjoyed from inside the temple building. Listen to the peaceful song of birds and see the pond water reflect dappled light onto the walls as you sit and immerse yourself in this beautiful garden
The Kochi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden is also right next door to this temple, so it’s a perfect destination for those looking for seasonal plants and tranquility
Short walk from Chikurin-ji Temple bus stop, about 20 minutes by bus from Kochi Station
