Maple leaves change their colours: the best viewing spots for autumn colours in Kansai.
Japan may be known for the cherry blossom that covers the nation and preoccupies the citizenry for a week in spring, but the autumnal colors – koyo 「紅葉」 – are no less spectacular. The leaves start to change in October and peak autumn colors are usually reached in mid-November. The last of the colors fade by mid-December.
Tips : There are, however, two things you can do to enhance your experience. Avoid weekends and aim to enter the better-known temples around an hour before they close.
