Whether you want to quietly admire the kaleidoscope of maple leaves from afar or dive into a pile of crisp fallen leaves to unleash your inner child, you can snap those perfect “autumn leaf” photos.
“Maple” in Japan
Tokyo — Meiji Jingu Gaien
The Meiji Jingu Gaien Park, just an hour from Haneda Airport, is Tokyo’s top beginner-friendly spot for maple viewing, where you can easily become an Instagram star surrounded by colorful autumn leaves.
Budget pick: Shinjuku Prince Hotel — 3.5 stars
In late autumn to early winter, besides the crimson maple leaves, travelers can also explore the ginkgo avenues, where about 150 ginkgo trees line a 300-meter-long street, their leaves turning 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, visitors can also enjoy traditional cuisine to satisfy their taste buds and shop for local specialties to fulfill their desire for souvenirs.
