Autumn Leaves

As we move into November, the weather becomes cooler, making it the perfect time to enjoy outdoor activities without the discomfort of extreme heat or cold. In Japan, one of the most iconic autumn traditions is viewing the changing colors of the leaves, known as "kōyō" or autumn foliage.

Meiji Jingu Gaien (Shinjuku and Minato, Tokyo)

Located in central Tokyo, Meiji Jingu Gaien is known for its avenue of nearly 300 ginkgo trees, which turn a brilliant golden yellow every autumn. Walking down this picturesque path under clear skies feels like stepping into a painting, making it a popular spot for leisurely strolls and photography.

Showa Kinen Park (Tachikawa, Tokyo)

Showa Kinen Park is about 39 times the size of Tokyo Dome and offers a vast expanse of greenery, complete with a Japanese garden and a ginkgo-lined canal that bursts into a beautiful palette of autumn colors. The park’s recreational facilities make it an ideal destination for families looking to enjoy a day out.
