The grandiose stairs to the Bishamondou temple were covered by red maple leaves freshly fallen after a rainy day.

I strongly recommend this location for autumn leaves, not only because of this beautiful sight but also because this temple is somehow less visited than others and it is one of the rare ones where you can snap a photo without many dozens of tourists in the frame!
