With a cool breeze and nice temperature, autumn is one of the best seasons to enjoy outings and take a walk around Japan’s vast nature escapes. And there is nothing like exploring the season’s foliage. At the end of November, fall foliage in Kanto Plain and below has already reached the peak yellows, oranges and reds. As you see, I am actually hunting bright-hued yellow and reddish autumn leaves at Negishi Forest Park in Yokohama City near Negishi Housing.

Today’s lesson is: “Momijigari desu!” = I’m hunting autumn leaves! (“momijigari” = autumn leaf hunting, “..desu” = it is.. /I’m doing..)

Don’t miss such a beautiful season and explore Japan’s autumn leaf attractions before they will be gone!
