Unmissable Autumn Leaf-viewing spots in Japan
-
- Spring is one of the most popular sightseeing seasons in Japan, with the blooming of the cherry blossoms. But autumn is another attractive season in which colorful leaves attract tourists from near and far. Generally, the green leaves transform into reddish hues from late September to early December, but it all depends on where you go in Japan. We’ve outlined a list of the best spots around the country and their peak seasons so you can start planning your autumn Japan trip. Kyoto:The most unmissable city There are many reasons why Kyoto's autumn leaves are among Japan’s most beautiful. The mountains and rivers that surround the city create wide temperature variations between the morning and night, as well as providing adequate moisture. As there aren't many tall buildings in the city, the trees also receive a significant amount of sunlight to help them grow. Together with the blessing of abundant temples and shrines, the ancient city's autumn season is particularly alluring for visitors.Read moreThe best autumn color spots in Kyoto for 2019 ・Tenryuji Temple A 15-minute walk from Arashiyama Station takes you to the Tenryuji Temple, where the dynamic landscape of Mount Arashiyama and its spacious garden will steal your breath. The temple grounds open at 7:30 am between November 10 and December 2, so early-risers should seize the opportunity if they wish to capture this tranquil garden view. Tenryuji Temple ・Enkoji Temple Originally chosen as the site of a school to nurture priests, artists and writers, the Enkoji Temple was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1601. It’s renowned for its moss garden, Jyu-gyu no Niwa, which contrasts dramatically with the deep-red fallen leaves. Enkoji Temple ・Tofukuji Temple Founded in 1236 by Kujo Michiie, the great statesman of the Kamakura period, the Tofukuji Temple is one of the oldest and largest temples in Kyoto. The temple grounds are planted with around 2,000 maple trees, which are best viewed from the Tsutenkyo Bridge. Tofukuji Temple Kamakura:A beautiful combination of changing leaves and traditional temples ・Meigetsuin Temple The Meigetsuin Temple is famed for the mystical view of its garden from the circular window of the main hall. It’s particularly attractive during the fall foliage season, as well as during June when tourists flock to see its colorful collection of hydrangeas. Meigetsuin Temple ・Zuisenji Temple Slightly off the beaten track, the Zuisenji Temple is nestled in a valley near Kamakura. Owing to its mountainous setting, visitors can see the autumn leaves from early to late December. The temple grounds are planted with various trees and shrubs, such as plum, winter cherry, and wisteria, which entertain visitors throughout the year. Zuisenji Temple ・Hase Temple Nighttime illumination events aren’t as common in Kyoto as in Kamakura, but at the Hase Temple, you can enjoy the radiant maple trees illuminated after dark. If you’re visiting during the day, the spacious temple grounds feature an observatory offering panoramic views of Yuigahama Beach, as well as a 9.18-meter-tall wooden Kannon statue and a Kannon Museum. Hase Temple Hiroshima:Maple is the signature tree ・Sandankyo Gorge Sandankyo Gorge is around 16-kilometers long and boasts a number of breathtaking attractions, such as waterfalls, boulders, and deep pools, which can be explored on boat tours and along the hiking trails. The gorge is one of the most popular maple leaf spots in Hiroshima, and visitors can refresh themselves in this abundant natural setting.

How to Enjoy Fireworks Festivals in Japan
-
- From early summer to mid-autumn, there are more than a thousand fireworks festivals held across Japan: it is often said that there is a fireworks event every day of the year between July and August. A quintessential Japanese experience, the summer hanabi festival brings together the community to drink and make merry with a fireworks closer. Here are a few tips to make the experience as smooth as possible, although it’s important to remember than the rules of engagement can be a bit different at the showpiece events in major cities. Get equipped Get equipped Before heading out, make sure you’re ready for the long haul. Grab one of the ubiquitous blue tarps (check a home store, the second floor of a grocery store, and even some convenience stores) that also make an appearance during cherry blossom season, and maybe some bug spray and suntan lotion. It doesn’t hurt to pack a few drinks and snacks, too, but be sure to check the regulations of wherever you’re heading as some parks frown on public drinking. Make sure your phone or camera are fully charged, so you don’t run out of batteries before the fireworks flash. Stake out a good spot Stake out a good spot The best bet is to go with the flow. The locals will know what the best spots are and what areas will afford the best views of the fireworks. Things can get very busy at the larger festivals, so be respectful of your neighbors’ space. It doesn’t hurt to exchange a greeting—make some fireworks buddies! Remember though, at larger festivals, the best viewing spots are reserved for ticket holders. The fireworks will be just as pretty a bit further back and it will make things easier when it’s time to head out. Grab a bite to eat Grab a bite to eat Hanabi festivals have all of the street food favorites: chocolate-covered bananas, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, taiyaki, and all manner of things deep fried and stuck on sticks. The acres of vendors are one of the major attractions at any summer festival. The snacks might not be particularly healthy but they go great with an ice cold beer or a bottle of cold oolong tea. Settle in Settle in Make sure you’re in place before the fireworks begin. Things usually get underway after dusk, when the sky is dark—that means that the hanabi will get started quite late in the evening. Precise times are usually published before the event. Get comfortable because coming and going can be difficult once everyone else has gotten into place. Snap a photo and get home safe Snap a photo and get home safe Once everything is done, the best bet is to take your time leaving the area. The crowds leaving the area can be a bit intense and riding buses and subways can be next to impossible. Make alternate plans. Walk, if you can, or, better yet, find a local izakaya or restaurant to keep the party going and plan your Instagram stories. Once the crowds have thinned out, it’s time to head back to home base. ©NAVITIME JAPAN. Travel Info Check out our travel tips to make your trip better!

Fireworks Festivals Take Over Fuji Five Lakes
-
- Summer in Japan is synonymous with festivals (matsuri) and fireworks (hanabi). From small towns to large cities, people gather around to eat, drink, and enjoy the stunning display of lights. The Fuji Five Lakes area at the foot of Mount Fuji is no exception. Fireworks Festivals Take Over Fuji Five Lakes During the first week of August when hotels and campsites fill up around Fujikawaguchiko Town, a string of firework festivals are held at each one of the lakes. From August 1st to August 5th, and from Lake Yamanakako to Lake Motosuko, the skies around the Yamanashi-side of Mount Fuji light up with colourful firework displays, and the lakeshores host the crowds looking to get a glimpse of the light shows. Fireworks Festivals Take Over Fuji Five Lakes Hitting each of the firework matsuri is a doable feat, but a better option is to checkout a couple of festivals and leave the other nights to chill out at your hotel or by the fire next to your tent. In this case, two of our favourite events are the Shojiko Ryoko Festival and the Kawaguchiko Kojo Festival; these two are held on August 4th and 5th, and round up the fireworks craze in the area.
