In Hokkaido, famous for the autumn foliage of Mount Asahi and other peaks in Mount Daisetsu, the best time to see them is mid- to late Sep., while Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is best from late Sep. to early Nov.. In Kyoto the best time to see the autumn foliage is usually from mid-Nov. to early Dec., but this may vary depending on the weather.

What are the recommended spots to see autumn leaves?

We recommend not only Kyoto, which is popular every year, but also Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Oirase Stream, Towada area, Shirakawa-go, Miyajima, Takachiho Gorge, and the public opening of Kunenan Villa.

Where is the best place to see illuminated autumn leaves at night?

You can see fantastical views that are different from those during the day, such as Korankei in Aichi Prefecture, temples in Kyoto City, Byodo-Byodoin Temple Phoenix Hall, Miyajima, and Kyorinbo in Shiga Prefecture.
