Engo-ji Temple, famous for its scattered and laid maple trees, is a popular spot for viewing the beautiful autumn foliage with its bright red carpet-like scenery.
Red maple trees fall everywhere, creating an indescribable view. There are two gardens to stroll around and enjoy, and an observatory on the back of the mountain offers a spectacular view of the entire mountain. The pond garden based on the Jugyu-zu (Ten Oxen Diagrams) is also worth seeing.

It is a relatively hole-in-the-wall spot!
