Tofukuji Temple is in the south-east Kyoto, next to JR Kyoto station. It was built in 1236 on the instructions of Kujo Michiie, the great statesman of the Kamakura period. Main gate, Sanmon is the National Treasure. It is famous of a large number of Japanese maple trees, and is most crowded during the autumn season when people flock to see the autumn foliage. It is a tradition to view the leaves from the Tsūten-kyō bridge. However there are few people in seasons except autumn so we can appreciate quiet calm
