Eigenji Temple, also known as Maple Leaf Temple, is a beautiful destination in Daigo, Ibaraki Prefecture, particularly stunning in November when the maple leaves turn vibrant shades of red and yellow. Located a 15-minute walk from JR Suigun Line's Hitachi-Daigo Station, the temple offers picturesque views and a tranquil atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a scenic walk through a tunnel of maple trees leading up to the temple. The temple grounds feature notable structures like a bell tower and unique stone statues. Be aware that the temple can get crowded during peak foliage season, especially on weekends, so consider using the paid parking near the station. It's a must-visit spot when visiting Ryujin Suspension Bridge and Bagoda Falls during the autumn season.
