What did you think of our recommended top 10 autumn color spots? Have you been to some of them? Which ones are your favorite koyo locations? Let us know in the comments!
Thank you very much for the nice comment! Kamikochi is a great spot for autumn colors too, if you are interested in checking more about it, here is a link to our 2017 report in Kamikochi: www.japan-guide.com/blog/koyo17/171005_kamikochi.html
Great video. Going to Japan in the second half of October. Some of mentioned places will land on my list "to see" now :D BTW: What do you think about visiting Amanohashidate at the end of October?
i really love spring with all the beautiful flowers but autumn is really something........ its so magical.... it always gives you mix emotion....... gloomy, happy, longing..... plus the cool weather just adds the feeling to it....
I love Japan, and its Autumn seasons brought many memorable memories of me . And I like the colorful leaves of the trees, that gives moody inspiration. In fact I live in Japan. And I find peace of mind viewing the trees that change the leaves in amazing colors. God's creation is very wonderful. 🙏 ❤
Hey. I'm going in October as well! I hope we get some excellent weather. I didn't know Nikko turned already in October...definitely gonna give it a go this time around.
I guess you have no clue the amount of radiation still being ejected by Fukushima. 300 metric tons a day, in fact. Probably more. I suggest a destination not on the Pacific Coast. Do your homework.
Japanese autumn has a aesthetics peculiar to Japan . The plaintive chirp of the transient life's autumn insects permeates our Japanese hearts from 1000 years ago . The row of ginkgo looks like the yellow carpet by falling leaves . From chaotic Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun
I was just planning my month long trip to Japan via some youtube and was wondering where "Happy in Japan" has been ... now I know :) ... great stuff as always Mr. Marsten.
I went to Nasushiobara, part of Nikko National Park early November. The beauty of the river and valley with autumn foliage is breath-taking as well. Some trekking along the river would help you keep yourself fit and be good for fresh air. It’s easier to go there by Tohoku Shinkansen than to Nikko.
Its obviously my dream to live in Japan but I really dont want to teach english in Japan! Arent there any other options! I have been doing research for like the past 6 months and nothing seems like the option! Cant i do something photography related?
We hope you'll enjoy your stay! For details about the autumn colors in Nikko, we have a dedicated page about it here: www.japan-guide.com/e/e3817.html Happy travels!
If you are looking for autumn color spots in Osaka, here are two spots we recommend checking out: www.japan-guide.com/blog/koyo17/171128_osaka.html Please keep in mind that in early November the leaves might not be at their peak. Enjoy your trip! :)
I'm a bit surprised Miyajima isn't in the top 10, isn't autumn the best season to visit there? They have many omiyage themed around maple leafs so I thought it was... any reasons it didn't make it in the top?
Indeed Miyajima is one of the top places to visit in Japan and it looks remarkably beautiful during autumn. In our opinion though, the places listed in the video have better fall colors, even though many are not as famous. If we made a "Top 20 Autumn Color Spots" video, certainly Miyajima would be included.
I see! Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. And it was indeed really nice to discover places that I didn't know of in your top 10. I also think that vivid colors are a key point when choosing a "momiji" location, so thank you for picking them up! :)
秋楓艷 (式2) 觀日本秋楓視頻有感 高煒 2022 年 12 月 8 日 古徑幽喑赤葉深, 佛牆半隱鐘聲沉。 人生宜比秋楓艷, 落地之前美三分。 English translation The Elegant Autumn Maple Written after watching a Japanese Autumn maple video Alvin W. Gao December 8, 2022 The ancient path is gloomy but elegant.
The color of foliage is in dark scarlet. The Buddhist temple stands alone, Merely half of its wall is shown. The golden bell is tolling in deep sound. Life should be prettier than what the autumn maple did. It adds thirty per cent of its beauty, Before leaves are landing the ground.

Great recommended spots. How about Kamikochi though? :-) And it seems a bit early for koyo now in summer :-D
Thank you very much for the nice comment! Kamikochi is a great spot for autumn colors too, if you are interested in checking more about it, here is a link to our 2017 report in Kamikochi: www.japan-guide.com/blog/koyo17/171005_kamikochi.html
A very nice list. I haven't made it to any of the spots in autumn yet, however I do like Arashiyama during sakura season.
Great video. Going to Japan in the second half of October. Some of mentioned places will land on my list "to see" now :D

Sandankyo at least deserves an honourable mention! Good video though

Food tastes the best in Japan through autumn and winter in my opinion. My favorite time to visit Japan.
YES you got it (•-•)
I was lucky enough to visit Japan for the first time in Autumn. NIkko and Kyoto were the best places I visited for this experience.
I plan to visit Japan this Fall for one week. Which week do you recommend for peak foliage? end of Oct or beginning of Nov? Thank you
It's very beautiful.
Seems like autumn will be my next travel around Japan since we can't go anywhere until summer!
Going to Japan in October! Counting down the days! Looking forward to seeing some of these places
Enjoy your trip!

No one is forcing you to go to Fukushima. Don't stick your nose in other ppls business.
Mårten Lundin instead of heeding my warning, you get butt hurt. It's not me playing with my health.
Makes me miss Japan in autumn so much!
The beauty is devastating!!!
I've been to Kyoto in the fall. Eikando Temple's night illumination should not be missed ❤️
Eikando Temple's illuminations are amazing! Have you seen the night illuminations at the Kiyomizu-dera?
Tofukuji is my favorite koyo spot, it has the most intense and dense autumn colors imo, and Nanzenji is spectacular too
melts the eyes in 4k.
Can't wait for my trip this coming November 🤗🤗
wow
How was it ? I hope u enjoyed it 🤍
I enjoyed. Very. Much thanks for. Your. Kindness. And efforts
So relaxing. Thanks for this video. Very beautiful and insane views. ❤️😍
Absolutely breathtaking!!! ❤
was in Kyoto last Nov 2017 and autumn was literally a blast! and this year 2018, will hit Tokyo :)
Have a great trip!
Japan is photogenic year round.
so pretty 🗾
Japanese autumn has a aesthetics peculiar to Japan .
The plaintive chirp of the transient life's autumn insects permeates our Japanese hearts from 1000 years ago .
The row of ginkgo looks like the yellow carpet by falling leaves .
From chaotic Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun
Top 10 would have to include Iya Valley in Miyoshi. The Iya River/Obeke Gorge is absolutely stunning during the fall.
I was just planning my month long trip to Japan via some youtube and was wondering where "Happy in Japan" has been ... now I know :) ... great stuff as always Mr. Marsten.
Thanks very much! Have a great trip!
Will be in Osaka on November...Definitely gonna be great!

ありがとうございます。
Its obviously my dream to live in Japan but I really dont want to teach english in Japan! Arent there any other options!
I have been doing research for like the past 6 months and nothing seems like the option! Cant i do something photography related?
We are planning a visit around late September this year. Will that be a good time to witness the fall colours?
Perhaps in Daisetsuzan National park. Here is the timing of fall colors across the country: www.japan-guide.com/e/e2014_when.html
I just booke a ticker for September 5-14th any cool places to see Autumn leaves then?

@japanguide is this up to date?
Saludos desde cd México es hermoso japon que bello
やっぱ紅葉は京都が強いな～
日光が思ってたより順位低かった
神奈川県伊勢原市の大山もモミジは結構有名よ夜はライトアップするし夜のハイキングをしながらの紅葉鑑賞は疲れるけどなかなかの物
大山は豆腐も有名だし外国人には受けると思うけどまだ知ってる海外勢は少ないだろうね
I will be in Tokyo, oct 2nd week. Does the autumn is already starting in Nikko?
We hope you'll enjoy your stay! For details about the autumn colors in Nikko, we have a dedicated page about it here: www.japan-guide.com/e/e3817.html
Happy travels!
Wow 😱🌈👍
Kyoto is the best good
what area is 0:43 please? its so beautiful!
Nik D i think it’s Koishikawa Korakuen in Tokyo
So it's Mid Oct - Mid Nov in Tokyo and Fujisan area that I can view the foliage? I thought it's during Mid Nov - Early Dec.
In Tokyo you can actually see autumn colors around late November to early December.
Domo Arigato na ka.
Will be in Osaka early Nov 3 nights, where should I go?

I think you may have a better chance than me :)

The Elegant Autumn Maple

The ancient path is gloomy but elegant.
The color of foliage is in dark scarlet.
The Buddhist temple stands alone,
Merely half of its wall is shown.
The golden bell is tolling in deep sound.
Life should be prettier than what the autumn maple did.
It adds thirty per cent of its beauty,
Before leaves are landing the ground.
賞楓要到京都，賞櫻要到東京！
Good for dating
Wooww, so nice. At my vilage we get something like that. The moment is so awsome, u can see my chnel 😎😎😎
I think you forgot most of the west side of Japan. many places to see there as well.
Rip Kyushu
More and more people lose interest in Japan. Less people want to visit Japan than before.
Good. More room left for me lol
I dont like tourists ruining the scenes anyway
Not that beautiful.
