Autumn is a glorious time to be in Japan as the countryside blazes with the fiery reds and dazzling oranges of the turning leaves of indigenous momiji maple tree.
As the weather begins to cool, the leaves begin to change colour, transforming Japan's landscape into an array of autumn colours. The turning of the leaves celebrated all over Japan and is an excellent time to visit this fascinating country.
Book a holiday to Japan and experience a true contrast of new and old. Highlights include immersing yourself in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Tokyo, viewing traditional Geisha culture in Kyoto and, of course, Cherry Blossom season.
