I remember often reading about how people praised the autumn colors of Karuizawa in books and blogs. This autumn, I finally had the chance to fulfill that dream. Located on the foothills of Mount Asama in Nagano Prefecture at an elevation of about 1,000 meters, Karuizawa is the second region in Japan, after the northern areas, where leaves turn red. Thanks to its vast land and the lush growth of larch trees, Karuizawa enjoys an exceptionally long maple leaf viewing season of one and a half months (from October to mid-November). If you miss the fall foliage in Tokyo, consider heading there to chase the “maple.”

Must-visit Spot 1: The Former Mikkasan Hotel

The Former Mikkasan Hotel was built in 1905 and represents the architectural essence of Japan’s Meiji era. It was officially designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan in 1980. Surrounding the hotel are numerous maple trees. In autumn, the red leaves complement the maroon-colored exterior walls of the hotel, creating a particularly stunning view.

The lakeside is planted with maple trees, and when autumn arrives, the leaves turn red, creating a dazzling sight along with their reflections on the water.Yunchang Pond is not large, and it takes about 25 minutes to walk around it. Along the way, you can admire ducks swimming leisurely on the pond and the European-style houses nearby, creating a romantic northern atmosphere.
