Autumn Color in Japan

Ankoku-temple in Toyooka, Hyogo

There are four seasons in Japan. Each season is nice and people enjoy the change of seasons. 

Now is autumn when the weather is nice as well as spring.

We can enjoy the beautiful foliage. Changes in temperature and light affect the color of leaves.

Above photo is the red colored azalea in a famous temple in Toyooka, Hygo Pref. 

The ancient capital of Kyoto has many good spots for viewing autumn leaves, such as Kiyomizu Temple. Some of these spots will be illuminated from mid-October to early December to allow evening viewing of the trees.
