It’s that time of year again when mountains are ablaze with colorful leaves, as they suddenly turn vibrant shades of orange, yellow, red, and gold – a breathtaking sight. A well-known hotel booking platform has specially compiled two top autumn travel destinations beloved by travelers across Asia-Pacific: eight hidden “foliage” Instagram-worthy spots in Japan and Korea, along with nearby accommodation options.

Whether you want to quietly admire the colorful foliage from afar or dive into a pile of crisp fallen leaves to unleash your inner child, you can snap those perfect “foliage” photos.

“Foliage” in Japan
Tokyo – Meiji Jingu Gaien
Meiji Jingu Gaien Park, just an hour from Haneda Airport, is Tokyo’s top entry-level spot for enjoying autumn leaves, making it easy to become an Insta-famous foliage fan.

Budget pick: Shinjuku Prince Hotel – 3.5 stars

In late autumn to early winter, besides the crimson maple leaves, travelers can also opt for the ginkgo avenue, where about 150 ginkgo trees line both sides of a 300-meter-long street, their leaves turning a brilliant golden yellow.

Luxury option: Grand Hyatt Tokyo – 5 stars

Additionally, during the peak period for viewing yellow leaves, a Ginkgo Festival is held. Aside from taking photos home, travelers can also enjoy traditional cuisine to satisfy their taste buds and shop for local souvenirs to fulfill their desire for gifts.
