"A Carpet of Autumn Spreading Across Daisetsuzan" A scene of autumn encountered around Mt. Kurodake in the Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group, Hokkaido. At my feet, alpine plants dyed in red spread out, and beyond them, the majestic mountain range is woven with yellow, orange, and green high pines. White remnants of snow still cling to the mountainside, coexisting with the brief autumn and the hints of winter. It is like a vibrant carpet of colorful autumn leaves spread across the earth. This is the unforgettable autumn of Daisetsuzan that I encountered in my last year living in Hokkaido.

"Oku-Nikko: Autumn Warmed by Charcoal Fire" This was taken at a shop in front of Yutaki Falls, a famous waterfall in Oku-Nikko, Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture. Surrounded by glowing charcoal fire, there were perfectly grilled dumplings and skewered fish. Behind the firewood wrapped in white ash, bright red embers were shining. Enjoying the autumn foliage in Oku-Nikko, not only the colorful trees but also the warmth of the charcoal fire and the fragrant autumn delicacies are part of the joy of travel. It was a scene that warmed the heart amidst the cold autumn air.

"The vermilion Otorii Gate adorned with cosmos" A scene of autumn encountered at the Koizumi Cosmos Fields in Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture. The vermilion Otorii Gate towers towards the blue sky, with vibrant pink, white, and reddish-purple cosmos blooming at its feet. The grand appearance of the large gate and the delicate cosmos swaying in the wind. I captured a beautiful landscape woven together by the traditional vermilion of Japan and the autumn flowers in a single photograph.

"The Crimson Bridge Crossing into a New Autumn" Akagi Ohnuma Woodpecker Bridge spans Gunma Prefectural Akagi Park, near Onuma. This bridge, leading to Akagi Shrine, completed its reconstruction on December 16, 2025, welcoming its first autumn in a new form. The vibrant crimson bridge stands against the backdrop of Mt. Akagi, which has begun to turn shades of red and yellow. And the endlessly clear blue sky stretches above. The newly transformed bridge meets the autumn that arrives unchanged every year. I captured this beautiful encounter in a single photograph.

To capture the most beautiful view of Mount Fuji in the morning, I climbed the stone steps of Arakurayama Sengen Park. As the morning light began to appear, I looked up, and the scenery in front of me made me stop in my tracks. The burning red maple trees on both sides of the stone steps intertwined with the rustic yellow lanterns, filling the air with the essence of autumn in Japan. Before reaching the top of the mountain to photograph the iconic five-story pagoda and Mount Fuji, I first pressed the shutter at the bottom of the park, capturing this stunning autumn scene in Japan.
