Autumn viewing in Kanto｜Go to this place to capture the autumn of 2024.

Although it is autumn, Tokyo in September is still surrounded by summer heat waves. However, starting next month, the metropolitan area, mainly Tokyo, will cool down immediately. Autumn is approaching quietly. As someone who was born in autumn and loves autumn the most. Today I have compiled 5 of my favorite places to enjoy autumn in and around Tokyo. Friends who are planning to come to Tokyo to enjoy the autumn, hurry up and save this page! ❶Tochigi Prefecture・Nikko It has beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, world heritage sites, and waterfalls and hot springs. Nikko, which can be reached in just 2 hours by train, is one of the most popular places to enjoy autumn in the Tokyo area. Because of the high altitude, autumn comes relatively early in Nikko. In mid-October, you can see beautiful red leaves near Lake Yuno, the highest point in Oku-Nikko. In late October, the shores of Lake Chuzenji are also decorated with red leaves. We recommend going to the Akechidaira Observatory and the Hangetsuyama Observatory to view the autumn colors. Alternatively, you can take a boat tour on Lake Chuzenji, which is also a unique experience. 🌟It is recommended to buy Nikko PASS at the tourist center of Asakusa Station, which covers round-trip train + local transportation with one ticket. ❷Saitama Prefecture and Nagatoro It takes about 2 hours by train from Ikebukuro/Ueno to reach this niche autumn viewing spot. The rolling rock formations, the clear Arakawa River, and the Michelin-starred Hodosan Shrine make you feel that autumn is more than just a change of colors. 🌟If you are departing from Ikebukuro, you can purchase the SEIBU 1 Day Pass + Nagatoro, which only costs 1,500 yen for round-trip transportation. ❸Ibaraki Prefecture・Hitachi Seaside Park There are blue philadelphus in spring and fiery red broom grass in autumn. The red ocean in mid-to-late October every year attracts a large number of tourists. 🌟There will be a bus from Platform 8 of Yaesu Station in Tokyo Station that will go directly to the park. It will take 2 hours and the ticket price is 2240 yen. ❹Yamanashi Prefecture・Kawaguchiko Lake Kawaguchi will also be dressed in new clothes in November. The maple leaf corridor near the Kubota Itchiku Museum is very photogenic. You can also take photos of red leaves and Mount Fuji at the same time at Kitahamaso Lakeshore and Oishi Park. There is also broom grass in Dashi Park, which usually turns red in late November. ❺Tokyo Let’s focus our camera on Tokyo from late November to early December. The ginkgo trees at the University of Tokyo, Waseda University, Showa Memorial Park, and Jingu Gaien are dyed golden. The Metasequoia trees in Mizumoto Park are just the right shade of red, coupled with the unfiltered blue sky. The three most beautiful primary colors of autumn make the city still full of vitality. 🍁The autumn viewing period each year will be affected by the climate, so you need to confirm it based on the latest information from the Meteorological Bureau.
