Autumn in Japan's Ashikaga & Tatebayashi Areas

TOKYO - Rezul -- Autumn is a spectacular time to visit the Ashikaga and Tatebayashi areas of Japan, just one-hour north of Tokyo's downtown Asakusa Station along the Tobu Railway Limited Express Ryomo Line.  During autumn, brilliant crimson maple leaves fill the Momiji Valley, where they are even reflected in Hotoku-ji Temple's polished floor. Additionally, fall roses and cosmos flowers are on view at the Tobu Treasure Garden, and Coco Farm & Winery celebrates its harvest.

Hotoku-ji Temple in Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture

Hotoku-ji Temple, whose large glass windows reveal the auburn and gold seasonal view of more than 100 trees, is renowned for this brilliant imagery, reflected in its specially polished, 28 tatami mat-sized (45m^２) main hall temple floor. This unique annual event is called Yuka Momiji or "floor full of fall colors." The temple also offers views of Mt. Narukami, one of the 100 most famous peaks in the Kanto Region. Combined, the two views create a true fall color paradise. The 2019 leaf-viewing festival takes place from November 9 (Sat) to 23 (Sat).
