Tōfuku-ji questions
Can you take photos on Tsūtenkyō bridge?
Not during the autumn foliage season. The temple bans photography on the bridge then to keep crowds moving safely.
When is the autumn colour at Tōfuku-ji?
Usually mid-to-late November, when the valley fills with red maples and the temple is at its busiest.
