Kyoto | Seiryo-in Monzeki, a hidden gem for autumn foliage in Higashiyama.

✓ Seiryo-in Monzeki One of the three major temples of the Tendai sect in Japan and the head temple of Sanzen-in Myoho-in. It is said that Seiryo-in was designed and constructed by the famous tea master of the Edo period, Kobori Enshu. The temple features a strolling garden centered around a pond at the foot of Kuroda Mountain, embodying the wabi-sabi aesthetics of Sen no Rikyu and the elegant aura of samurai nobility. Seiryo-in is renowned for its beautiful Japanese gardens, including the Ryushin Pond, Koryu Bridge, and Senshin Waterfall, all designed by the Muromachi period painter Soami. Each season offers a unique landscape. The temple enshrines the principal deity "Shijoko Nyorai" and is famous for its blue Fudo Myo-o statue, a national treasure and an important cultural asset of Japanese Buddhist art.
