Visit a Autumn Leaves Spot Loved by Locals
Dedicated to Tenjin, the god of learning, Kitano Tenmangū is a popular destination for those wishing to pray for success in scholarship and studies. Tenjin was once a man named Sugawara no Michizane who was an accomplished statesmen, poet, and scholar before he fell out of favor and was banished from the capital, dying in obscurity.
Tough Kitano Tenmangu may not be so well known among international tourists, its autumn leaves light-up event is one of the best spots in Kyoto. It is definitely beautiful and not too crowded. Light up event continues until 8th December 2019, closing time is 20:00.

Access : Take a City Bus (#5O) or (#101) from JR Kyoto Station; From (#203) Demachiyanagi Station to Kitano Tenmangu-mae
