【4K 奈良紅葉🍁】美しすぎる奈良の紅葉4選を紹介します

Nara is an ancient capital where Japan’s original landscape still remains. Temples and shrines with over a thousand years of history blend in harmony with the natural beauty of the deep mountains, quietly welcoming visitors. Autumn is the season when the breath of the old capital is most strongly felt. This place, where time seems to flow more slowly, displays an especially vibrant look in autumn. We introduce four famous autumn foliage spots in Nara, perfect for visiting in autumn, when historical memories and vibrant nature intertwine . Experience the charm of autumn in Nara. Hasedera Temple. Nestled in a quiet mountain valley, this is the head temple of the Shingon Buddhism Buzan school. Founded in 686, it is an ancient temple with over 1,300 years of history. The first thing that catches your eye upon entering the temple grounds is the climbing corridor leading to the main hall. The wooden corridor, with approximately 399 steps, gently ascends the mountain slope, quietly guiding worshippers throughout the four seasons. As you walk, the scenery of autumn leaves deepens. In autumn, the surrounding maples and Japanese maples color the mountains. The main hall is designed as a magnificent stage. The sound of sutra chanting quietly echoes within the hall, creating a tranquil atmosphere befitting a mountain temple. The autumn foliage of the mountains below symbolizes Hasedera in autumn. And one of Hasedera’s symbols is the five-story pagoda. Since April 2025, the temple has undergone renovation work that will last more than three years, and its exterior is now obscured by a covering. However, the autumn foliage surrounding the pagoda remains as serenely beautiful as ever. The five-story pagoda before renovation. (Renovation work is scheduled for April 2025 to March 2028.) Looking into the main hall, where the chanting echoes, you can see the statue of Binzuru Binzuru floating beyond the inner stage. The famous “floor maple” reflects the autumn leaves on the polished floor. The leaves spread beautifully across the floor and window frames. It is said that by stroking the Binzuru statue on the same part of your body as you are suffering and praying, your illness or pain will be cured. Hasedera Temple is known as the “Temple of Flowers,” and in autumn, the grounds are adorned with colorful chrysanthemums, creating a gorgeous seasonal scene together with the autumn leaves. Tanzan Shrine is a historic shrine nestled in the mountains of Mount Tono. Tanzan Shrine enshrines Fujiwara Kamatari of the Asuka period. The shrine building is built along the mountain slope and is surrounded by nature throughout the seasons. Numerous hanging lanterns are hung around the main hall and worship hall, and in autumn, the vermilion shrine building, combined with the autumn leaves and mountain ranges, creates a fantastical view. At the center of the temple grounds is the only remaining wooden thirteen-story pagoda. The approximately 17-meter-tall tower was built to appease the spirit of Kamatari and honor his achievements. The autumn scenery, woven together by the vermilion shrine building, thirteen-story pagoda, and colorful maple leaves, is reminiscent of a scene from a picture scroll, creating a uniquely Tanzan Shrine. The pagoda, while in the form of a Buddhist pagoda, is located within the shrine grounds and conveys the syncretic Shinto-Buddhist faith to the present day. The main hall and worship hall are designated Important Cultural Properties. Walking along the approach and stairs, you can feel the breath of mountain worship and history. The best time to view the autumn leaves is mid- to late November. This is a place where you can quietly savor the harmony of history, nature, and faith. Muroji Temple.

Crossing the vermilion-lacquered bridge, you will be greeted by the Niomon Gate, enveloped in autumn leaves. Nio statues are enshrined on both sides, exuding a powerful presence protecting worshippers. Passing through the gate, beautiful autumn leaves appear on both sides. “Banji Pond,” shaped like a guardian character in Esoteric Buddhism, beautifully reflects the Niomon Gate and the autumn leaves. The area in front of and behind the Niomon Gate is enveloped in lustrous autumn foliage. There are approximately 400 stone steps leading to Okunoin. With each step, the persimmon-roofed roof of the Kondo comes into view. Kondo. The Kondo houses the central statue of Shaka Nyorai (a National Treasure).

The five-story pagoda, ginkgo trees, and autumn leaves reflect beautifully in the pond, creating a beautiful landscape. The five-story pagoda next to the Main Hall is approximately 16 meters tall. It is known as the smallest five-story pagoda in Japan and is beautifully illuminated by the autumn leaves. A long series of stone steps leads to the Okunoin. The autumn foliage that spreads through the forest along the way is also a sight to behold. Climbing the stone steps will take you to Okunoin, built on a clifftop. Okunoin. The Goei-do (Daishi-do) hall enshrines a statue of Kobo Daishi Kukai. It is one of the oldest Daishi-do halls in the area. Joto-do Hall. Below Joto-do Hall, you can see vibrant autumn foliage. Furthermore, you can overlook the tranquil scenery of the deep mountain ranges and the lush greenery of the Muro Mountains .

Mount Yoshino has long flourished as a sacred place for Shugendo (a form of Buddhist asceticism) and is a place of mountain worship that has been registered as a World Heritage Site. In spring, it is known as a famous cherry blossom spot, but in autumn, the entire mountain is enveloped in tranquil colors. Head to Hanayagura Observatory. The autumn foliage on the way to the observation deck is also beautiful, allowing you to enjoy the quiet mountain air while viewing the leaves. Hanayagura Observatory. Known as Yoshino’s best observation deck, it offers views of Kamisenbon, Nakasenbon, and Kinpusenji Zaodo Hall below. The view is spectacular during cherry blossom season, but in autumn, the maple and cherry leaves take on soft colors. The view is even more spectacular in spring. Head to Takajoyama Observatory. There’s a stunning spot on the way to the observation deck, famous for its maple tunnel. The maples were magnificent. Takajoyama Observatory (Okusenbon Area). Located at the summit of Mount Takajo, 702 meters above sea level, you can see Mount Takami, which borders Osaka and Mie prefectures in the distance.
