秋の紅葉シーズン

万物が夏の日差しとともに秋の実りへと赴く

日本の秋と紅葉

日本の秋は長く、カエデやブナなどが紅葉し、風光明媚な景色と調和します。紅葉の景観は大きく分けて、自然そのものが作り出す広大な野原と、寺院などの人文景観と融合した庭園景観の2つに分かれます。紅葉狩りは、日本の秋を代表する観光イベントの一つです。

日本の紅葉名所

Tokyo

Tokyo The leaf-viewing season in Tokyo lasts from late November to late December. Famous spots include Mt. Takao and Asakusa Temple. Mt. Takao, not far from the city, offers a great option for hiking and viewing the foliage, while Koishikawa Korakuen is a traditional Japanese garden where the autumn colors paint a beautiful scene of reds and yellows.

Kamakura

Kamakura offers a diverse range of leaf-viewing experiences, from temples and shrines to surrounding natural forests. The foliage ranges from golden to deep red, creating a beautiful layered effect. From mid-November to late December, Kamakura's historic temples and shrines are adorned with vibrant maple leaves, enhancing their ancient charm and creating a picturesque landscape.

Mt. Fuji

Mt. Fuji Starting in late October, the "Maple Corridor" by Lake Kawaguchi at the foot of Mt. Fuji becomes a must-see autumn spot. With around 400-500 maple trees gradually turning red, the combination of vibrant leaves and the stunning lake view is like stepping into a painting. The best viewing period is from October 26 to November 20, with mid-November being the peak for red maples covering the mountainside.

Kyoto

Kyoto Popular leaf-viewing spots in Kyoto include Kiyomizu Temple and Arashiyama. Kiyomizu Temple is known for its mountain blanketed in red leaves, while Arashiyama’s foliage blends beautifully with the historic temples and flowing streams. Kyoto’s night leaf-viewing events are especially famous, such as the one at Rikugien Garden, where the illuminated leaves create a magical, mystical atmosphere.

Nara

Autumn in Nara is a vivid painting, with a beautiful contrast between the autumn leaves and the ancient architecture. In Nara Park, more than 1,000 deer roam freely among the red, orange and yellow autumn leaves, creating a beautiful scene. The Great Buddha Hall of Todaiji Temple is particularly majestic against the autumn leaves, and the autumn leaves by the Great Buddha Pond are beautiful with a beautiful contrast of red and yellow. The stone lanterns and torii gates of Kasuga Taisha Shrine surrounded by autumn leaves exude a tranquil and beautiful atmosphere. In addition, the carefully designed landscapes of Isuien and Yoshinarien are the perfect places to enjoy the autumn leaves.

Osaka

Osaka Castle Park and the surrounding areas, such as the Tenshukaku, are great for viewing autumn leaves. Visitors can enjoy both the city vibe and the vibrant autumn colors. Osaka’s Momijidani is a hidden gem, with the valley covered in colorful leaves during autumn.
