Foliage in Giappone

Autumn foliage, also known as Momijigari, is a breathtaking spectacle that can be admired in Japan during autumn. During this season, landscapes are tinged with vivid orange, red and yellow colours, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere. The leaves of the trees slowly fall, creating a carpet of colours on the earth.

Popular and picturesque places to enjoy Momijigari include Nikko National Park, Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto and Mount Koya in Wakayama Prefecture. Here, it is possible to walk through maple forests and admire nature in all its autumnal splendour.

The Momijigari experience is not only limited to the sight of autumn colours, but also includes the chance to taste seasonal culinary specialities such as chestnut cakes, hot sake and pumpkin-flavoured rice.

Autumn foliage in Japan is a unique event that attracts visitors from all over the world. It is a perfect time to enjoy the beauty of nature and immerse yourself in Japanese culture during one of the most fascinating times of the year.
