Red and Yellow Leaves


This picture was at Eikando(永観堂), Kyoto. Actually people are really crazy about Autumn leaves in Kyoto. Peak season turns only red leaves. Only read leaves kind of amazing scenery, but several kinds of colors, red, yellow, green, etc. are also fun.

By the way, Kyoto is crazy during this season. That is why accommodation is almost full, many restaurant is pretty busy, and it is serious traffic jam. In addition visitors not only from all over Japan but also from all over the world dropped in Kyoto. Recently I have noticed one thing that most part of "travelers" was English speaker, but now it changed already. I think especially people from two parts of the regions are getting huge. One is East Asia like China, Korea and Taiwan. The other region is Europe. Do you know why foreigners visit Kyoto? I am really sure that is why Japanese currency rate is pretty weak now a days. Even Japanese government is having campaign activity for "VISIT JAPAN!" as politics, I think economic situation gives a big result more than that.
