Autumn is my favorite season in Japan. This is because of this aesthetic view. Enjoying the autumn from ropeway is very good but the view of autumn with the ropeway is amazing. The autumn valey in Yuzawa kogen ski resort is one of the best place to enjoy the autumn. Over the valley there is a ropeway service which looks like this image.

I may not know the name of the hill, but witnessing the Naeba Plateau in the fall is truly a breathtaking experience. It transforms into a stunning tapestry of autumn colors, as if it were aflame with beauty. The national highway that traverses the area adds to the scene, leading one through a charming tunnel that highlights nature's grandeur. It's a wonderful reminder of how harmoniously the landscape and human elements coexist.

[Event: Report on the November 9 (Sat) Salt Road Walk!] Here is a report on our autumn Salt Road Walk, where participants felt history underfoot. The walk began in the Sha district at Nishina Shinmeigu Shrine. The morning started shrouded in mist, but the sky cleared into perfect blue as the day progressed. Participants enjoyed walking while gazing up at the snow-capped Northern Alps. Thank you to everyone who joined us 😍 A brief introduction: we plan to hold this event again around the same time next year. If you’re interested, please check our association website in the fall.

Experience the stunning beauty of Futaiko, the emerald lake nestled in the breathtaking Naeba plateau—a true gem of nature! Japan's fall season is bursting with vibrant colors and incredible sights, and Naeba offers so much more than just skiing. This hidden treasure is less traveled, making it a serene escape where you can immerse yourself in the abundance of nature.

Aerial view of Seihoji Temple (2023/12) It is a very nice temple with a walking garden Gari under the covered tree and an upside-down maple in the pond there. Please go there this fall. Fujiwara Towns, Inabe City, Mie Prefecture "Seihoji Temple"

Autumn is a beautiful season. Honestly speaking it is my best season in Japan. This is mainly due to good weather and magnificent views. Usually we enjoy the autumn by ourself but this time we decided to include take our special family members in tbe autumn party. The looks so nice and pretty. It seems they also enjoyed a lot. We tried our best to give them a autumn date. Very special outing for us. Photo taken in Showa Memorial Park in Tokyo.

Under the autumn sky, trekking in Akiyoshidai. The pampas grass flutters in the wind and the clouds part. You can walk along this pampas grass alley as far as you want. Feeling good~.

"Fall is proof that change is beautiful" The beauty of autumn is really unparalleled specially in Japan. And it also really proof that changing is beautiful. Since it change color from green to yellow and red the whole atmosphere change. This changing nature also teach us a deep lesson which tells us of restart from the begging if required. And for that don't be upset and do it proudly. This vibrant colorful leaves also tells us "leaves are falling, autumn is calling"

Shikinzan (紫金山) — Comet ATLAS Did you know that between October 13 and October 26, the comet was visible to the naked eye even in Japan? I, Kawanishi (河西) — a real foodie — was so focused on food that I completely forgot. I'm so sorry. F. N. kindly provided these photos. They are truly lovely🌠 I wish I could take pictures this beautiful! I feel lucky to have been born in a city where scenes like this can be seen. I think it’s a city to be proud of!!! Does that famous scene from that movie come to mind — the lake and the comet falling? Yes, the film 'Kimi no ◯ wa' (an intentionally obscured reference to 'Your Name'). It's even rumored that this place inspired Lake Itomori, and the site has become a pilgrimage spot for foreign visitors. We received photos of Shikinzan (紫金山) — Comet ATLAS taken from Tateishi Park, so we’re sharing them with you. The comet appears in every picture, so please try to find it! ※ Brightness has been adjusted. It seems that many skilled photographers gathered at Tateishi Park that day! Some camera lenses cost as much as a small car!!!!! Photography runs deep... My wife scolds me that I hardly use my DSLR, but I will keep working every day to bring you attractive photos of Suwa📷 ※ Personally, I use a Nikon D-series (D7100, an older camera but one I love). I would be grateful for any guidance on camera operation, such as how to photograph fireworks or comets... ・Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Did you know you could see Tsuchinshan-ATLAS from October 13 to October 26 with the naked eye? A friend kindly shared this photo, taken by F. N. It’s beautiful, moving, and fantastic. I’m so proud of my city and truly happy to have been born in Suwa!!! Lake and comet—does that famous animated movie come to mind? I know it does: Your Name. She shared these pictures with us, and I want to pass them on. Every photo shows Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, so please try to spot it!!! That day, so many photographers were at Tateishi Park. One of them told her that a camera lens cost over $6,500!!! Amazing!!! Photography is deeper than it seems. I own a Nikon camera (not very expensive but I love it). I need to study how to take better pictures. I must improve my technique before my wife gets mad at me… I haven’t used my camera recently. I know I need to practice over and over, right?

Autumn Scramble I enjoyed 😊 the autumn when various lines intersect Shot on: iPHONE 11 PRO Lens 26mm Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture "138 Tower Park" 2023/10

It is Ozegahara dyed in autumn colors. The balance between Mt. Hirigatake, the golden marshland, and the pond in the foreground was exquisite, and the scenery was truly beautiful.

October 22, 2024 On that day, hungry me—Kawanishi the foodie—braved my appetite (laughs) and visited several of the city’s autumn leaf spots to take photos and share the much-requested “Suwa autumn foliage report.” The morning was sunny, but by the afternoon, perhaps because of my poor habits, it turned cloudy… please forgive me… The following are my impressions of each spot. They reflect my personal views, so I appreciate your understanding and acceptance. 1. Takashima Castle and Gokoku Shrine — The ginkgo trees showed no color yet and were still very green. The maples only showed the faintest hint of color. 2. Lake Suwa and the lakeside park — I felt the leaves were just beginning to change, but there’s still a long way to go. 3. Katakura-kan — The ginkgo trees are starting to take on a slightly yellow tint, but it still seems early. 4. Tateishi Park — Here, too, the leaves appear to be just beginning to change. The 23rd was rainy, but the high reached 23°C. Mornings have been warm; this week’s highs are around 20°C and the lows do not drop below 10°C. It seems the foliage may be later than usual by about a week. Today, I’m updating you about Suwa City’s recent autumn leaf situation. I received several inquiries, so I visited Suwa’s leaf-viewing spots on October 22. The morning was sunny, but I was unlucky—the afternoon turned cloudy. Please forgive me! Caution: these are my personal impressions; please understand. 1. Takashima Castle and Gokoku Shrine — The ginkgo trees remain very green; only a few leaves are turning yellow. 2. Lake Suwa and Kohan Park — I estimate about 20–30% of the trees have begun changing to yellow and red. 3. Katakura-kan — I estimate about 20–30% of the ginkgo trees around Katakura-kan are gradually turning yellow. 4. Tateishi Park — Similar to Katakura-kan, maples and cherry trees are shifting to red, about 20–30%. Yesterday was rainy in Suwa, but the temperature reached 23°C (74°F). It wasn’t cold at all—quite surprising. Normally in Suwa around November, temperatures fall below 15°C (59°F). I think this year’s autumn colors are delayed by more than a week compared with a typical year.

The autumn beauty of Toji temple in Kyoto. With illumination and reflection in water the scenery becomes more beautiful. One of my favorite tourist spots in Kyoto. The tradition and beauty truly reflects here.

When I visited Shizuoka Prefecture, I happened to take a walk early in the morning and encountered a pleasant morning.

A park in Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture It was an old-fashioned small park, but it was a charming park with two large ginkgo trees on either side and seesaw

It was a large Persimmon tree that I happened to find in Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture, and it was 😋 an autumn persimmon that appeared in Japan folk tales, like the original scenery of nostalgic Japan
