Besides cherry blossoms, Daigoji also has many deciduous trees, such as maples, ginkgos, konaras (Quercus serrata), and clethras. At the end of October, leaves of these trees change to brilliant red and yellow. The autumn leaves in Sanboin are especially beautiful. Nevertheless, Daigoji offers more than just autumn leaves. Purple Japanese clovers blooming in full glory near the Ascetic Path, and yellow Tsuwabuki (Farfugium japonicum) delicately peeping out between the grass at Kenjinrinen also add to the colors of Daigoji.

There is also a Chrysanthemum Exhibition from October to November.
