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.
