Autumn Welcome

See red leaves

Red leaves are the most special highlight of autumn in Japan. November is the romantic red leaf season in the ancient capitals of Kyoto and Nara. In addition, the rows of cheap trees fanning yellow leaves on the streets of Tokyo are also easy to touch people’s hearts when autumn comes.

Climbing

Autumn is also a popular time to climb the middle and low mountains in Japan. Climbing is also a way to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery in Japan. Some typical mountains for you to conquer in autumn: Odaigahara (Nara), Takao (Tokyo), Hieizan (Kyoto).

Harvest Festivals

Summer is the season for fireworks festivals, and autumn is the season for harvest festivals rooted in the Japanese tradition of autumn harvest agriculture. Autumn festivals are full of culture and have many interesting activities such as horseback archery, bonfires, etc.

School festivals

Universities often hold campus cultural festivals during November, especially around Culture Day (Bunka no hi) in Japan. Immersing yourself in vibrant student activities is also a great way to get a feel for Japan. From August to October is the grape season in Japan, going to the farms and picking grapes with friends is also an interesting experience.
