When people think of autumn in Japan, they tend to think of leaves bursting into red. But there is more to the season than just the trees undressing; there is a wonderful variety of autumn flowers to see in Tokyo and beyond.
Japan has a habit of dedicating entire days to flower excursions. Spring flower festivals may be the most famous example thanks to hanami (cherry-blossom viewing). However, there are plenty of flower festivals throughout the year — just look at Hokkaidō’s lavender fields or Ashikaga Flower Park in Ibaraki, and you’ll see what we mean.
Autumn, naturally, is no exception.
Pro tip: Speaking of beautiful red leaves, one of the best ways to see the fall colors is on a day trip from Tokyo.
