Japan's Famous Maple Viewing Spot: Korankei

The most captivating period here is undoubtedly the autumn maple leaf season. The best time to view the maple leaves in Korankei is from mid to late November, when 4,000 deciduous plants turn a brilliant red. Walking along the stream, the mountainsides covered in red leaves surge like giant waves, showcasing both the delicate beauty of the maple leaves and the grandeur of the wild mountains. Coupled with the pure and graceful stream, it feels like a fairyland on earth, touching the heart. During the maple leaf season, a Maple Leaf Festival is also held here, with various temple performances and unique stalls adding more fun to your maple leaf viewing trip.
