Recommended Spot in Taiki Town for Autumn: Keiseki Bridge Here's what Keiseki Bridge looks like on October 15th, an easily accessible spot for viewing autumn leaves along the roadside. Walking down a side road and viewing Keiseki Bridge from the pedestrian bridge allows you to enjoy the orange bridge, the autumn foliage, and the beautiful Nubinai River (a tributary of the Rekifune River) all at once.

Ninpo Station, nestled in the mountains, was a place I visited to capture trains. It exuded the atmosphere of a true "hidden station," surrounded by abundant nature. While waiting for the train, I stepped onto the silent platform, where cosmos flowers swayed gently along the tracks. Although it was just a brief moment waiting for the train, the vivid autumn colors at my feet made me deeply appreciate the essence of autumn in Japan.

This is the autumn foliage at Fukuhara Sanso in Shikaoicho, Hokkaido. Although it is private land, it is open to the public during the autumn foliage season, attracting many tourists. There are many maple trees here, and when the leaves start to fall, a beautiful red carpet is formed, making it very popular.

The marigolds blooming at the Azumino sightseeing spot, Sōshunfu Kahi, are said to depict the scenery of Azumino eagerly awaiting spring. A music box is installed, so please press the button to listen! 😄

The blue sky and flowers are very beautiful! It's a warm day perfect for a walk♪

It's a clear day in Azumino☀️ The water was crystal clear and looked very beautiful☺️

The stunning scenery of Azumino A breathtaking view from Ohisama Road Blessed with clear autumn weather, a wonderful landscape spread out before us If you stop by Azumino, this is a must-visit spot! 😆

Cosmos blooming in the fallow rice fields and the Northern Alps. There is a cosmos field near the Haishun Fuka Monument. Beyond that are the mountain ranges of Mt. Ariake and Mt. Jonen. Azumino is enjoying clear autumn weather this afternoon. It’s fully autumn in Azumino! 😄

When I looked up, a pale rainbow was arched beyond the mist.

This is a photo of Susuki grass taken when I visited the Daisen Masumizu Kogen Tenku Lift in Tottori Prefecture. The Susuki grass spread all around was very beautiful, symbolizing autumn and allowing me to feel the change of the season!

On Sunday, October 11th, around 3 PM, at Ido Shitsugen in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture, there isn't a sense of scale like in the Nasu Highlands or Oku-Nikko. However, the satisfaction of having this view all to myself! I lay down on the wooden path and experienced autumn with my whole body. The breeze crossing the marsh was pleasant, providing the best healing.

On October 10, 2026, I took photos at Ido Shitsugen in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture. I thought about going to Oku-Nikko to search for autumn, but considering the traffic on Irohazaka Slope, I decided to visit Ido Shitsugen, which is said to resemble Senjōgahara Plateau, where I could stroll leisurely. Perhaps because I went around 3 PM, there were few people, allowing for a relaxed walk. Occasionally, the sunlight shone through, revealing sparkling autumn leaves.

On my way to Shikaoicho to capture the autumn leaves, I saw a large animal crossing the road a few hundred meters ahead. It looked much bigger than a dog or a fox, possibly a wild boar or a brown bear, but there are no wild boars in Hokkaido. When I stopped the car and cautiously looked around, I spotted a group of Yezo sika deer, probably following a stag. This time of year is the breeding season, so Yezo sika deer are quite active. Just yesterday, a stag suddenly dashed out in the early morning, forcing me to slam on the brakes. The male Yezo sika deer are larger than a foal, so colliding with one could easily result in a severely damaged vehicle that is no longer drivable. Please be cautious while driving in Hokkaido.

I captured a scene of wild deer gathering on a small hill during an autumn evening. The location is Maenikkou Highland Lodge in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture. I visit this place a few times a year. It's a beautiful spot for sunsets. Photographed on October 10, 2026. This is my first post, and I'm a bit nervous! 😅

"Journey to Read the Land of Saijo" Participants Wanted Saijo City is actually a "treasure trove of terrain." In this walking tour, we will explore the areas of Furuta, Kusunokigawa, and Teizui with a professional guide. Before us lies a landscape of mountains, rivers, rice fields, and villages. When we focus on the terrain and geology, we start to wonder, "Why did a village form here?" and "How did this landscape come to be?" This leads to new discoveries. Using the terrain as a clue, we will unpack the history of the land, the lives of the people who have lived there, and the culture rooted in the region. When you "walk with knowledge," the scenery of the town becomes much more interesting. Why not come and walk, see, and feel the hidden charms of Saijo? The familiar scenery will start to look a little different. "Journey to Read the Land of Saijo" ◯ Travel Fee 5,000 yen (tax included) per person *Monitor price.

I traveled in autumn, and this is a photo taken near a museum in Okutama. I was overwhelmed by the great nature and the size of the stones. It was sunny, and the cool breeze felt pleasant, allowing me to experience autumn in Japan. If I visit again a little later, I might also enjoy the autumn leaves. It was a great place to refresh.

This is a photo I selected from my photo album, inspired by the theme of a photo contest titled "Autumn in Japan." The photo has not been edited. It is a beautiful picture of autumn flowers that I took at Jindaiji in Chofu City, Tokyo Metropolis. Jindaiji is a wonderful place rich in nature, known for its delicious soba, and it even offers pottery experiences (painting, bisque firing, and items can be taken home the same day). Soba manju and dumplings are also delicious. For someone like me who loves nature, art, and food culture, it is a place full of memories.

The autumn leaves of Onneto. If you go in the morning when the wind is weak, you might struggle with backlighting in certain spots. However, on this day, there were miraculous moments when it was nearly windless even close to noon.
