This is the first time I have ever seen Mount Fuji. (This is the first time I have seen Mount Fuji.) Mount Fuji, harmonizing with the autumn leaves, is truly beautiful. (Mount Fuji, in harmony with the autumn foliage, is so magnificent.) Will the day come when we can meet again? (Will the day come when we can see it again?) #Tokyo #Kawaguchiko #maple #Japan trip #trip #Japan travel #Kawaguchiko #autumn-leaf trip #Mount Fuji

(2025-11-22) Evening Stroll at Showa Memorial Park in Autumn Showa Memorial Park is exceptionally large for a park in Tokyo. They hold events there from time to time. This autumn features illuminated autumn foliage. They light up the Japanese-style garden area and the Ginkgo Avenue. So I chose a day with a wind speed of 1 m/sec (almost no wind) and went to see it. After learning from the last “Stargazing Stroll,” where I ended up walking a ton, I entered through Nishi-Tachikawa Gate and took the shortest route to the Japanese-style garden inside. I always think this, but unlike Hitachi Seaside Park, this park keeps the usual night lighting during events and doesn’t prepare any extra temporary lights or signs at all (;'∀'). Groups of people walking together could be heard saying things like, “Is this the right path?” “I have no idea where we’re walking.” “Let’s ask a staff member for directions.” “There aren’t any staff.” Showa Memorial Park, if you run events, could you pay a little more attention? Anyway, I finally managed to reach the garden. Inside the garden, the rule is “only one monopod allowed except in the tripod-permitted area,” so I wandered around shooting with a monopod and then set up in the tripod area to take photos. The garden pond was almost perfectly still, so I could capture reflections, but... every gazebo was packed with people to the brim (;'∀'). You didn’t even need to zoom in to see how the atmosphere was ruined, lol. Still, it was beautiful nonetheless (●´ω｀●)

Autumn in the Enchanted Forest The bright red fall foliage of the bald cypress (rakushou) blazes on the surface of Lake Ejio. The scene feels dreamlike, as if you’ve wandered into a mysterious land. Photo location: Lake Ejio, Sanyoonoda City, Yamaguchi Prefecture

The endless mountain foliage of Nagano prefecture’s Lake Momiji unfurls in a sweeping colors of red, gold, and ember-orange, the autumn canopy spilling down the slopes until it kisses the mirrored surface of the lake.

Autumns in nagano is amazing. There are multiple location to see autumn colors in Nagano prefecture but lake momiji is exceptionally good one. The running water and fall colors look stunning. Location: Lake momiji, Nagano prefecture

Metasequoia Avenue Makinomachi Hiruguchi to Makino, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture When setting this destination in your car navigation system, please register Makino Pickland at 0740-27-1811. Along Shiga Prefectural Road Route 287 Koaraji Makinosawa Line, which continues from the town road Sawamakino Line that runs through Makino Pickland, about 500 metasequoia trees line a 2.4 km stretch. They harmonize with the distant Nosaka Mountains and create a highland-like approach to Makino Kogen.

A trip to Kyoto with someone special turned out to be wonderful. Visiting Kyoto in autumn for the first time felt very atmospheric and truly captured the essence of Japanese autumn…

I shot aerial footage of Gujo Hachiman Castle in autumn. It was my first visit to Gujo Hachiman Castle. The autumn colors had passed their peak and many leaves had faded, but an unexpected mist gave the scene a great atmosphere. Date: 2025/11 Location: Gifu Gujo * Flight application for Gujo Hachiman completed * Comprehensive unmanned aircraft flight permission obtained from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism * Flight plan notified and flight log prepared

Ryosokuji Temple, known as the Maple Temple, is a famous spot for autumn leaves. About 150 maple trees line the approach from the main gate and throughout the temple grounds, their vivid crimson coloring the temple. Location of photography: Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture

Lake Momiji in Nagano prefecture is one of the best autumn spots in Japan. It looks specifically beautiful during sunset.

After visiting the local Tarobogu Shrine, my wife walked briskly down the tunnel of autumn leaves and torii gates.

Deep in the autumn forest, the Twin Towers sway in the shadow of the trees. A colored leaf drifts down, and the hush of distant memories gently unfolds.

The autumn colors of Kankakei Gorge on Shōdoshima offered a vast panorama. By the way, aside from the ropeway, the dramatic scenery along the driving routes is unlike anything else, so I recommend it.

A snapshot of everyday life

On my walk, I thought, "Wow — that's interesting."

A canal reflecting the air of a foreign land gently cradles the colors of the evening sky. The lights from the buildings unfurl across the water, and the laughter shared with friends drifts quietly into the scene. I saw a pale, dreamlike dusk light that slipped softly into the depths of my chest.

Autumn leaves are often seen during the day, but I wanted to capture the night-time foliage lit up by lights, so I took these photos. The remaining green created a pleasing contrast, and I feel I managed to capture a truly Japanese autumn. This spot is Kouchi Valley in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture, which draws many visitors during the autumn leaf season. Although it’s fairly close to my home, I had never been until I took up photography as a hobby and felt the urge to preserve it in pictures, and I was able to shoot without any people appearing in the frame. I take photos mainly for my own satisfaction, but I would be thrilled if they resonated with someone else.

I drove to Fuji-Q Highland on a whim with my eldest son. That day, Mount Fuji peeked out from the clouds, and the colorful autumn leaves spreading across its foothills blew away my work stress and fatigue.
