A fine autumnal foliage spot along the approach to Goryo Shrine. After passing through a tunnel of maple and ginkgo trees, one can stroll down the path carpeted with colorful fallen leaves.

We caught a bus from Nakatsu and enjoyed a walk through the countryside beside the river with fields of blue flowers. The chairlift to the top is a good alternative to the very steep climb and is a fun experience. At the half way point are gardens that are generally level before the second trip up to the temple. It was very peaceful when we visited and met the resident cat sleeping beside the fish pond. One of the monks with excellent English took time out to talk to us about the temple and recommended we visit a secluded garden behind the temple after the main building. Views from the peak were really spectacular and the feeling of age and quietness was a contrast to the many city temples we had visited. The Rakanji temple is definately worth a visit.
