京都 寂光院ライブ中継カメラ/Jakkoin Temple, Kyoto

This camera looks at Jakkoin Temple, a small Buddhist temple in the hills of Ohara, north of central Kyoto. The operator is 京都観光混雑状況Live, a Kyoto tourism channel that tracks how busy the city's sights are, so the picture is there to show crowd levels rather than scenery alone. The temple sits among tall trees on a quiet lane, and the view takes in the approach and the temple grounds. Ohara is a short bus ride from Kyoto Station and far less crowded than the city centre, so the cam is useful for checking how many visitors are already there before you commit to the trip. Autumn is the busiest season, when the surrounding maples turn and the lane fills early.
