Searching for Autumn in Gokase
This time I’m sharing the fall foliage around Shirataki that I photographed just the other day🍁
To get straight to the point, the autumn colors are…
not here😂!
All we can do is gather the few red maple leaves scattered on the ground to create a touch of autumn😂
The maples along the slope from the parking lot to Shirataki (photos 2 and 3) have faded to a sparse yellow, so it doesn’t really feel like proper fall foliage😓
Well, they’re still pretty in their own way… but you really want to see maples in full red, right?😂
As you climb further toward Shirataki, there were even cherry blossoms blooming out of season🤣🌸
With the recent abnormal weather, the plants must be all confused💦
It’s raining today due to the typhoon (also strange for this season), but the forecast calls for clear skies from tomorrow, so let’s keep hoping the leaves will change more🙏🙏🙏
The Gokase Tourism Association’s Instagram is running “Gokase Autumn Foliage 2024,” so if you spot fall colors in Gokase, please enter and share your photos🍁📸
