Japan Autumn Foliage Tours

Are you looking for Japan autumn foliage tours? 

According to the latest forecast out of Japan, 2024 autumn foliage is expected to reach its peak Kanto (Greater Tokyo Area and nearby) and Kansai (Kyoto, Nara, Osaka etc.) in late November and early December, about 11 days later than usual due to warmer weather. 

According to Japan National Tourism Organization, “from late September through to early December, the country is transformed into a breathtaking canvas of fiery reds, brilliant scarlets and regal gold by the Japanese maple and ginkgo tree, as well as supporting acts like the Japanese rowan and larch. November is considered the best month to view the autumn colours in most parts of Japan.” 

We couldn’t agree more. The transformation of autumn leaves in Japan is considered to be one of the most beautiful in the world. This is unsurprising when you consider the country’s unique geographical profile – almost 70 percent of its land is covered by forests populated with deciduous trees.
