In Japan, there is an old saying, “Atsusa samusa mo higanmade,” which literally means “no heat or cold lasts over the equinox.” Sept. 22 is the autumnal equinox, so fall is officially here!
If you still haven’t made it out to see the fall foliage in its full glory heading to the Fuji Five Lakes in Yamanashi Pref. might be a great option you and your entire group will enjoy.
Head to the Fuji Five Lakes in Yamanashi Pref. to enjoy impressive landscapes including a great view of Mount Fuji, the crystal clear waters and surrounding foliage in gorgeous autumn colors.
Mount Bandai in Fukushima Prefecture has made its transformation to autumn colors. Nearby, Goshikinuma, the five-color ponds, is a popular destination to view the colors of the season as well as a view of the majestic mountain.
Tokyo is home to countless big and beautiful gardens which act as the city’s lungs, creating pleasant pockets of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. I have seen quite a few already, and each of them is uniquely beautiful.
As autumn sets in and the leaves start transforming Japan’s forests and mountains into golden, fiery and crimson hues, an almost primal urge calls us to flock to this magical flora on outings and countryside cruise.
