Kiyomizu-dera Temple

13 Reviews

Kiyomizu-dera is one of the most famous spots for autumn leaves in Kyoto. I visited several places to light up the autumn leaves, but this place is a spot for autumn leaves that can only be said to be true.

Nanzen-ji Temple

17 Reviews

I visited Nanzenji Temple, a popular spot for autumn leaves, and Tenju-an Temple, which has two beautiful gardens, in kimono. The autumn leaves in the eastern garden were in full bloom, and it was a magnificent view that you could see forever while sitting on the porch. Another wonderful view that sighs is the autumn leaves in the south garden, which looks like a painting, cut out by the window frame of the Shoin. When I raised my face to buy a ticket at the entrance, I jumped into my eyes first and was fascinated.

Metasequoia Avenue

18 Reviews

A row of metasequoia trees with a superb view that represents Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture. Autumn leaves are especially popular and many people and cars come, but the 2.4km tree-lined road dyed in orange is a photogenic view that you want to see at least once.

A scenic spot of autumn leaves and deer. I went there for the first time, but there are more deer than I imagined. I was surprised to walk normally on the general road. I thought he was greeting me by shaking his head up and down, but it seems that it means give me deer rice crackers. I was healed by the wonderful scenery and the cute deer.

Kawami Shikizakura no Sato, located in the Obara district of Toyota City in Aichi Prefecture, has 1,200 four-season cherry trees that bloom on the slopes of the mountain in spring and autumn. The number and colors of the autumn season are much higher, and the sight of a dreamland that can be seen with the autumn leaves is a beauty that fascinates everyone. Usually, the best time to see the cherry blossoms is from mid-November to the latter half of November, but it's best if the cherry blossoms and autumn leaves coincide with each other's peaks.
