In my book, autumn in Japan outshines spring (and cherry blossom season) for its many delights. 90003 90002 Autumn in Japan is one of the country’s most beautiful seasons, most would agree. As in other temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, the fall season lasts roughly from mid September, through October and November, and into early December. Temperatures are cool but mild, ranging from about 45 Fahrenheit (7 Celsius) in the evening in late autumn, to as high as 75 F (24 C) on warm September days.90003 90002 As summer gives way to autumn, the weather gets cooler and the leaves begin to change, creating breathtaking vistas of vibrant red, orange, and yellow leaves in the country’s many forests. 90003 90002 The falling temperatures signal the return of comforting fall flavours. Think chestnuts and freshly harvested rice, fragrant pine mushroom broth, oily grilled Pacific mackerel, pumpkin soup, and sweet persimmons. (90009 Hungry? Read more about Japanese cuisine. 90010) 90003 90002 Autumn also brings orange osmanthus, blood-red spider lilies, and chrysanthemums in their delicate pastel glory.And after the heat and humidity of summer, a dip in the 90009 onsen 90010 (hot springs) suddenly becomes a warming respite from the bracing chill of autumn air. 90003 90002 Of course, one of the best parts of fall in Japan is the colours. Naturally, this means engaging in the ultimate autumn pastime — 90009 momiji-gari 90010 (also known as 90009 koyo 90010). 90003 90022 A waterfall surrounded by fall foliage in Akita Prefecture, Japan (photo by Syuzo Tsushima CC BY) 90002 90009 Momiji-gari 90010 literally means «hunting red leaves,» which is the main draw for many visitors to Japan in autumn.It derives from 90009 momiji 90010 (red leaves, or maple tree), and 90009 kari 90010 (hunting). 90003 90002 In practice, 90009 momiji-gari 90010 and 90009 koyo 90010 do not refer exclusively to maple leaves. Rather, they’re catch-all terms for «leaf peeping,» or viewing the fall colours. Think entire mountains enveloped in swathes of red, orange, and gold; an avenue of golden ginkgo trees leading to a shrine; starry red and yellow maple leaves blanketing a carpet of moss. 90003 90002 Because of how beautiful Japan is at this time of year — not to mention the relatively pleasant temperatures — fall has become a peak travel season in Japan.The good news is that, despite its popularity, the crowds in autumn have not quite reached the heights of those during sakura (cherry blossom) season. 90003 90002 As such, if your dates are totally flexible and you have to choose one or the other, you may want to lean toward fall. On the other hand, it’s also worth considering another month or season altogether, as Japan is worth visiting at any time of year. If you’re not sure when to visit, see our guide on the seasons and best times of year to travel to Japan.90003 90041 Autumn is pretty (Nikko’s Lake Chuzenji) 90042 When to See Fall Colors in Japan 90043 90002 Compared to spring and its ephemeral cherry blossoms, fall is refreshingly forgiving. While the sakura are very unpredictable, there’s a relatively long grace period for autumn in Japan. This makes planning around autumn colours a slightly easier process — especially if you’re open to broadening your scope with regard to travel destinations. 90003 90002 Much like the 90009 sakura zensen 90010, tracking the 90009 koyo zensen 90010 — the progress of the autumn colours across the country — is an annual routine in Japan.The leaves follow a wave of colour beginning from the north (Hokkaido) and working its way down south to Kyushu and Okinawa. Unlike the cherry blossoms, which occur rather quickly, the 90009 koyo zensen 90010 has a much more leisurely pace, lasting for a period of around 50 days or so. 90003 90002 To the surprise of many travelers, September is actually a little too early for fall colours in places like Tokyo and Kyoto. Unlike England or the East Coast of the United States, September in these parts of Japan is basically still late summer, with nary a hint of dying leaves anywhere.90003 90056 Brilliant red maple leaves (photo by Bong Grit CC BY) 90002 Even early to mid-October is usually too early. The end of October onward is when the colours typically start to turn, peaking around the middle of November. In Kyoto itself, the colours can sometimes linger as late as the end of November, though they’ll usually be past their peak. 90003 90002 The timing varies greatly depending on geography and altitude, and in mountainous areas the leaves typically turn a bit sooner. Similarly, if you’re willing to travel to more off-the-beaten-path places in Japan, you can often coordinate your travels to overlap with earlier and later fall colours.90003 90002 For example, mid-September to early October sees some gorgeous fall foliage in the northern island of Hokkaido, and in the lovely and remote Tohoku region you’ll see beautiful autumn colours from mid-October onward. Conversely, the much milder southwestern island of Kyushu tends to peak later, around the end of November. 90003 90002 Naturally, exact timings can vary from year to year, and as we all know, Mother Nature is wonderfully unpredictable! 90003 90065 Ginkaku-ji (the Silver Pavilion) in Kyoto 90042 Fall Foliage: Trees and Other Japanese Plants to See in Autumn 90043 90002 Thanks to the abundance of deciduous trees all over Japan, fall transforms the landscape with dizzying palettes of red, yellow, and brown.90003 90002 Japanese maples, wax trees, rowan, burning bush, and Japanese sumac turn red; the leaves of linden-leaved maples, ginkgo, Japanese elms, and poplars turn golden and yellow; and birches, chestnuts, oaks, and beeches shed leaves in shades of brown. 90003 90002 Aside from these trees, there are also the 90009 aki no nanakusa 90010, or the seven representative flowers and grasses of autumn that herald the season’s arrival. Taken from a verse in the 90009 Manyoshu 90010, the oldest existing anthology of Japanese poetry, the flowers are bush clover, Japanese pampas grass, arrowroot, dianthus, 90009 Patrinia scabiosaefolia 90010, thoroughwort, and bellflower.90003 90002 These flowers often appear throughout Japanese literature with romantic, wistful overtones. Often invoked in tandem with specific characters or events (e.g., the ending of relationships), they evoke deep beauty coloured by a hint of sadness — much like autumn and the passing of time. 90003 90002 Out of all the autumn flowers, pampas grass — also known as eulalia, 90009 susuki 90010, or 90009 obana 90010 — may be the most visually dramatic, especially in the late evening light. You might see them in majestic silvery clumps growing wild along mountain trails, in fields glimpsed from a train window, or on a cliff facing the sea.90003 90002 The Sengokuhara Susuki Kusahara in Hakone, a huge field covered with pampas grass, is mesmerising in autumn — gold and silver waving and glimmering in the sunlight (Sting would love it). 90003 90002 You’ll find many more of our favorite places to see fall foliage below. 90003 90092 Even Tokyo is full of beautiful places to see the autumn colors 90042 The Best Places to See Autumn Leaves in Japan 90043 90002 Here are some of the most beautiful places to experience the autumn leaves in Tokyo, Kyoto, and beyond.For even more floral inspiration, see our guide to Japan’s best gardens. 90003 90097 Tokyo’s Best Places to See Autumn Leaves 90098 90002 It might feel like a neon-spiked concrete jungle on steroids at times, but Tokyo — with its many parks and gardens — is home to some truly lovely places to enjoy the autumn colours. 90003 90101 Yoyogi Park 90102 90002 Located right next to Shibuya, Omotesando, and Harajuku, Yoyogi Park is an ideal autumn leaves stop in between shopping in and exploring the surrounding neighborhoods.You’ll want to visit the southern section between Yoyogi-Koen Station and Harajuku Station, which is home to many ginkgo and maple trees. 90003 90101 Icho Namiki 90102 90002 An avenue of ginkgo trees, Icho Namiki is one of Tokyo’s most iconic autumn leaves spots. The towering trees are pruned into gorgeous, gigantic teardrop shapes, making them seem like an avenue of gloriously golden torches. 90003 90109 Photo by foooomio CC BY 90101 Rikugien 90102 90002 Famous for its weeping cherry tree in spring, autumn sees Rikugien’s lovely Japanese landscape garden lit up in late November, making the maples seem like incandescent fires in the night.The garden is large enough to stroll around, and there’s a teahouse where you can rest and enjoy the small waterfall nearby. 90003 90101 Shinjuku Gyoen 90102 90002 This sprawling park in the heart of Shinjuku is amazing in any season. With a variety of gardens, groves, and trees, it is a solid choice for enjoying some autumn colours. If the weather is warm enough, bring lunch and have a picnic in the park. 90003 90101 Koishikawa Korakuen 90102 90002 Visitors love this stunning Japanese garden in the middle of Tokyo (not far from the Tokyo Dome) for the glorious crimson and red maples reflected in the central pond.It is best visited at opening time before the crowds hit. 90003 90101 Mt. Takao 90102 90002 This mountain with a temple at the top is popular with Tokyo dwellers for weekend hikes (one of the best day hikes near Tokyo) — and especially so in autumn for the beautiful scenery. There are six routes of varying difficulties leading up the mountain, making it a great option for hikers of all abilities. Mt. Takao is a mere 50-minute train ride away from Shinjuku Station. 90003 90101 Okutama 90102 90002 Another favourite with Tokyo locals for the autumn colours is Okutama.If you’re not keen on climbing Mt.
