Autumn splendor at 天授庵 Tenjyu-an and 南禅寺 Nanzen-ji

It’s that time of the year when Momiji, Japanese maples, shine blazing red.
This post is a report of 天授庵 Tenjyu-an and 南禅寺 Nanzen-ji Temples.

Don't you feel excited just looking at Tenjyu-an from the outside?


The inside is much more than your expectation.
You enter Pond Garden by way of Dry Landscape Garden.



Fascinating reflections can exist anywhere.



A garden with a pond spreads in front of the Shoin architecture.


Tranquil and serene.






Carp look swimming through the reflected leaves.

Verdant garden of 天授庵 Tenjyuan shows what the garden is like in May.
Which garden do you like, in spring or in autumn?

 Tenjyu-an is close to the massive San-mon Gate of Nanzen-ji.
Trees are fiery red.


Among all the autumn leaves, Momiji is the last to paint the landscape shades of red.
They have touched Japanese people’s heart at its core from the ancient times.



The precinct is ablaze with the final burst of glory before the winter calm.

Today is the coldest of this season; the heaviest snowfall in 10 years
is forecasted in the northern Japan.

  5. Hello Yoko, how are you?
    Beautiful autumn garden, the Japanese maple has turned wonderfully red. Something amazing! And beautiful carp.

    I looked into the May garden and I don't know which one I like more, because each season has its own charm.
    It's grey here and there's cold rain almost every day.
    I'm sending you lots of warm greetings! Hugs!

  6. Those trees are really beautiful and make the surrounding landscape delightful to look at. AUtmn colors are very late compared to here where there is snow on the ground and bare trees.
