This is Enko-ji Temple, located in the northeast of Kyoto City.
In May, the fresh green leaves are incredibly beautiful, known as “green maple leaves.”
This temple is said to have been founded by Tokugawa Ieyasu, who established the Edo Shogunate.
He established this Temple in Fushimi as a place of learning to promote the development of education within Japan, and later moved it to this location.
