Autumn in Nara is a feast of colors, and maple leaves are the undisputed protagonists of this feast.

Nara Park is a well-known maple viewing spot in Kansai. The golden ginkgo and fiery red maple leaves complement each other. The sun shines, the fallen leaves flicker, and the deer shuttle through, forming a wonderful picture of the blending of nature and culture. Wakakusa Mountain overlooks the entire park, with a sharp contrast between evergreen trees and red leaves, and a beautiful view in the early morning.

There are also good places to enjoy maple leaves around Todaiji Temple. The Great Buddha Pond is relatively quiet, with red and yellow leaves and the Great Buddha Hall complementing each other. The steps leading to the national treasure bell tower, the Nigatsu-do and Sangatsu-do in the Upper Inner District, the red leaves add a touch of elegance to the ancient buildings.

Many shrines and temples are also not to be missed. Stepping into Nara is like stepping into a fairy tale world dyed by maple leaves. The maple leaves, interwoven with golden and fiery red, either hang on the branches wantonly, rustling in the breeze; or fall leisurely, covering the ground with a colorful carpet. The ancient temples and shrines complement each other. The vermilion buildings are more simple and solemn against the backdrop of maple leaves, and the maple leaves are more Zen in the embrace of the ancient temples. Walking through, there are soft fallen leaves under your feet and intertwined maple branches above your head. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight shine through the gaps between the leaves, and spots of light jump on your body. The beauty of Nara's maple leaves lies not only in their colors, but also in their perfect integration with nature and humanity, making every visitor intoxicated by this picturesque autumn scenery.
