Autumn leaves in Tohoku(North-east), Kanto(East), Japan
When it comes to visiting Japan for autumn leaves, it’s always Kyoto京都 that comes to our mind. No doubt, it’s one of the most stunning places in autumn. But, when the blossom of the red leaves reaches the peak time, it seems that people all around the world are surging to Kyoto京都, this small place(kind of).
Moreover, in general, autumn leaves in Kansai関西(West Japan),Kyoto京都 is available to see only by/after late November. I would like to go there. But if you can hardly get a holiday in autumn as me and it doesn’t fall between this period, does it mean you don’t have the chance to see those beautifully rich red leaves?
Of course not!~Here is introducing where to travel in Tohoku(North-east), Kanto(East), Japan to autumn leaves.
