Tofukuji Temple, Temple(Kyoto, Japan) 東福寺★★★★

東福寺の紅葉素晴らしかった〜！

次の写真は通天橋からの景色。最高です！！（紅葉シーズン真っ盛りの時期でしたが、朝早かったので比較的空いており落ち着いていい写真が撮れました）

東福寺はこの通天橋からの眺めが有名ですが、この他にもあちらこちら境内至る所で綺麗な紅葉が楽しめ見どころは多いと感じました(^o^)

It was really fantastic experience to see autumn leaves of Tofukuji Temple.

The next photo is the view from Tsutenkyo Bridge. It's super!! （Although it was the best season for autumn leaves, I could visit early in the morning, hence not so crowded, so I was able to take some nice pictures in a calm.）

The most famous point of Tofukuji Temple is this view from Tsutenkyo Bridge, but in addition to this, I think that there are many other places worth seeing, because we can enjoy many beautiful autumn leaves here and there in this temple.

Loo rolled: Japan’s oldest toilet damaged as driver backed up

Justin McCurry in TokyoTue 18 Oct 2022 01.49 EDT

Japan’s oldest existing toilet, dating back hundreds of years, has been damaged after it was accidentally rammed by a car driven by an employee of an organisation that preserves cultural relics.

The 30-year-old man, who works for the Kyoto Heritage Preservation Association, damaged the communal toilet, located inside Tofukuji temple in Kyoto, after he mistakenly accelerated while the vehicle was in reverse, crashing into the building’s wooden door, according to media reports.

The man, who has not been named, immediately called police after the incident on Monday morning. No one else was inside the Zen Buddhist temple at the time of the accident, and the driver was unhurt.

The “tosu” restroom, an important cultural property, was built during the Muromachi period about 500 years ago for use by trainee monks, according to the public broadcaster NHK.
