Kyoto, Japan

Autumn often gives people a sense of lightness and love, which is why autumn in Japan's historic city Kyoto elicits even more particular emotions. With more than a millennium of history, Kyoto was once the capital of Japan. It represents the essence of traditional Japan and has preserved its priceless customs. When fall arrives, Kyoto dons a dazzling yellow shirt that transforms every street, street corner, and a row of trees with yellow and red leaves into breathtaking sights that send shivers down your spine.

You shouldn't miss visiting Kyoto's "first scenery" at Kiyomizu Temple or Kinkakuji Golden Temple since the fall foliage there will leave you feeling content. Every autumn, the view around Shinyodo Temple, which has numerous old maple trees, turns crimson and golden in the sky. And don't forget to visit Kyoto Gyoen Imperial Palace Park, a sizable park where you can easily zoom out and take in the full splendor of autumn. The most gorgeous part of autumn in Kyoto is from late October until mid-December.
