The autumn leaves in Japan are full of a variety of stunning colors!
In Japan, the "autumn foliage season" begins from mid-November to December, when the leaves of the trees change color to red and yellow. The defining feature of autumn foliage in Japan is the colorful colors of red, orange, and yellow. It's the best season to experience the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic .
If you have been to tourist destinations such as Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, we recommend a trip to the countryside in Ehime Prefecture. To fully enjoy autumn in Japan, you need to enjoy "quietness." The Nanyo region of Ehime Prefecture is an area that retains the traditional Japanese countryside scenery, so you can definitely enjoy a quiet and calm autumn trip here.
In this article, we will introduce ways to enjoy autumn in Japan in the Nanyo region of Ehime Prefecture.
If you're traveling through the countryside, renting a car is the way to go!
The Nanyo region of Ehime Prefecture is a quiet and peaceful area, but public transportation is not sufficient. If you want to enjoy the Nanyo region of Ehime Prefecture, renting a car is definitely the safest option. Please read this article for information on how to rent a car in Japan.
