Yoshiminedera Temple is a historical Buddhist temple located in the west of Kyoto city. It is built along a mountain and offers beautiful views of Kyoto from a different vantage period. Like other Japanese temples that are located in scenic natural locations, Yoshiminedera is a popular destination during fall when the autumn foliage begins. Despite its historical value, having been founded in the 11th century, and its beauty, it has remained a hidden gem in Kyoto.
