ArabiaWeather.com- Autumn leaves turn from green to scarlet, bronze, golden, yellow and brown colors, forming an artistic painting that adorns plains, mountains and hills, enjoyed by millions around the world.

And the colors of the autumn season present a scene, unlike what is said about autumn, that it is a season that carries between its folds farewell, sadness and depression. One of the most beautiful places to enjoy its beauty in autumn is Japan.

Just as the Japanese celebrate and enjoy the arrival of spring by celebrating the blossoming of cherry trees, they also enjoy the fall of leaves in the fall. The following are the most important Japanese cities that are characterized by a very beautiful autumn:

Yatsugatake Mountains

It is a volcanic mountain range on the border between Nagano and Yamanashi Prefecture on the island of Honshu in Japan, and is a major part of Kogen National Park.

Daisetsuzan National Park

It is located in Hokkaido Prefecture, in the far north of Japan, and with the onset of autumn, red and orange colors begin to spread throughout Mount Asahidake in Daisetsuzan National Park. Autumn lasts until early October at lower elevations.

Nikko District.

Located in Tochigi Prefecture, it is a popular leaf viewing destination for Tokyo residents beginning in October. The "Dragon's Head" waterfalls are the most famous of these places, and are characterized by the fiery colors of their autumn leaves.

Kamikochi

Kamikochi is a small basin located at an elevation of 1,500 meters above sea level in the upper reaches of the Azusa-gawa River, which runs through the western part of Nagano Prefecture.

Hakone

It is located in Kanagawa Prefecture, a short distance from Tokyo, and is visited by residents to see the autumn leaves in November. There is the Hakone Museum of Art in the Gora region, where the best foliage is from mid to late November.

Kyoto

It is located south of Honshu Island and close to Osaka. It is considered one of the oldest cities in Japan. It hosted the imperial court for more than a thousand years (794-1868 AD).

The Arashiyama district of Kyoto has been celebrating the fall leaves for more than a thousand years, and has its own festival, Arashiyama Momiji, to welcome the season, which runs from late November to early December.

It is noteworthy that the leaves of trees in the fall season begin to be colored in autumn colors from north to south, unlike the cherry blossoms that start from south to north.
