2024.10.22 On this day, while enduring hunger (laughs), I went to a Autumn leaves spot in the city and took a photo in order to deliver "Suwa Autumn leaves Information", which has been receiving many inquiries recently. It was sunny in the morning, but in the afternoon it became cloudy due to my bad Squid. Please forgive me... The following are my impressions of each Spot, but my personal subjectivity has been included, so I would appreciate your understanding and understanding. (1) Takashima Castle, Gokoku Shrine ⇒ Ginkgo was not colored at all, but was still lush. I have the impression that the maple has also begun to fade in color. (2) Around Suwa Lake and Lakeside Park ⇒ I have the impression that it is starting to color little by little, but I feel that it is still a long way off. (3) Katakurakan ⇒ I have the impression that the Ginkgo is gradually becoming yellowish, but I think it is still a long way off. (4) Tateishi Park ⇒ This is also the impression that it is starting to color little by little. It was raining on the 23rd, but the maximum temperature was 23 degrees Celsius. The mornings are also warm, and the maximum temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius this week, and the minimum temperature does not fall below 10 degrees Celsius. I feel that it will be later than every year! Today, I’ll update to you guys about Suwa city’s Autumn Leaves recent situation. I got some phone call about these types of inquiry. So, I went Suwa Autumn leaves spots in Oct, 22nd!!! That day’ AM was sunny, but I’m unlucky man! PM was so cloud… Please forgive me!!! *Caution: it is in my opinion please understand it! 1. Takashima Castle and Gokoku Shrine --- Gingko was so green! Just some leave was turning yellow. 2. Lake Suwa and around Kohan Park --- I think 20 - 30% was changing their leaves color to yellow and red. 3. Katakura-kan --- I think 20 - 30% Katakura-kan’s Gingko is gradually changing yellow color. 4. Tateishi Park --- I think same as Katakura-kan, Maples and Cherry blossoms are changing their leaves to red color. (20 - 30%) Yesterday was rainy in Suwa. But it was 74 degrees Fahrenheit!!! It wasn’t cold, it’s so crazy… Usually in Suwa around November, it is supposed to be under 59 degrees Fahrenheit. I think Suwa Autumn leaves are delay for more than a week compare to usual year.
