I have not experienced autumn until last year when I was living in Japan. And what better place to spend my first autumn in than Kyoto. Kyoto is the former capital of Japan and the center of traditional Japanese culture. Because of its well-kept temples and gardens, Kyoto is considered as the most beautiful city in Japan. When autumn comes, Kyoto's beauty goes to whole new level. In fact, this place is regarded as the top fall foliage site in Japan. Best time to go is around the third to fourth week of November when fall colors are at their best.
Since I can't put into words the beauty of Kyoto in autumn, let me just share with you some photos I took last autumn and you be the judge.
