Autumn Forest Embracing Gohyaku Rakan

The stone statues of Gohyaku Rakan at Chokeiji Temple rest quietly along the forested slopes of Mt. Kureha. In autumn, the maple trees ignite in vivid red, creating a magical contrast with the moss-covered statues. This photograph captures one of the most colorful sections of the forest.

Pathway Beneath a Canopy of Autumn Leaves

The approach to Chokeiji Temple transforms into a tunnel of autumn color when the maples reach their peak. Sunlight filters gently through the dense canopy while fallen leaves decorate the path. This tranquil path leads visitors toward the forested area where Gohyaku Rakan is quietly arranged.
