Jōsen-ji is one of Tsuyama's most beloved koyo destinations, its grounds carpeted in fallen maple leaves each November. The temple's stone lanterns and moss-covered walls form a picturesque contrast with the fiery autumn canopy overhead. Visitors can stroll the quiet precincts at a contemplative pace, making it a peaceful alternative to busier foliage sites in the region.
