Autumn in Japan is the perfect season to propose!

Recommended spots to propose in autumn in Japan
There are many popular scenic spots throughout Japan in the fall, and many tourist destinations perfect for proposals. Here are some of the best spots to propose.
All of the places introduced in this article are major tourist destinations, so they are easy to access and recommended for those who have limited time to stay for sightseeing.
Arashiyama (Kyoto)
Arashiyama is a popular tourist destination in Kyoto, and is also famous for its beautiful autumn leaves. You can enjoy the autumn leaves all day long just in Arashiyama, with Tenryuji Temple , which has a traditional Japanese garden and beautiful vivid autumn leaves, and Kami Jakkoji Temple, where the combination of stone pavement and autumn leaves is photogenic.
It's also a place where you can see the combination of Japan's historical scenery and autumn leaves, so it's a place we'd recommend to anyone considering proposing in Japan.
However, autumn in Arashiyama is the most popular season of the year, so it will be crowded with people during the day. If you want to propose in a quiet and pleasant atmosphere, it's best to visit early in the morning.
Around Lake Kawaguchi (Yamanashi)
The area around Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture is a popular spot that draws many people from both within Japan and overseas to see Japan's landmark Mount Fuji and autumn leaves at the same time.
The annual Fujikawaguchiko Autumn Leaves Festival will be held from October 26th to November 20th in 2024, and the area will be lit up at night, allowing you to see a fantastic view of the autumn leaves.
However, like Kyoto, it is a popular tourist destination, so we recommend visiting early in the morning. Whether you can see Mt. Fuji or not depends on the weather, but there is a relatively high chance of seeing it in the morning. Why not take a quiet moment to admire Mt. Fuji surrounded by autumn leaves, and when the atmosphere is right, propose marriage?
Mount Takao (Tokyo)
Mount Takao is a 599m high mountain located in Hachioji, Tokyo. It is easily accessible from central Tokyo by train, about an hour and a half, and is a place where you can casually enjoy low mountain climbing. The autumn foliage season is the most popular time of the year. To avoid the crowds, we recommend visiting on a weekday.
You can take a cable car to Takaosan Station, which is 472 meters above sea level, and along the way there are clusters of maples such as Japanese maples and Japanese maples, creating a spectacular tunnel of red and yellow leaves in the peak season. Even those who are not confident in their physical strength can enjoy the autumn leaves from the cable car.
You could propose at the same time as climbing a mountain together and savoring the sense of accomplishment of reaching the summit, or if you're lucky, you could propose at the summit where you can see Mt. Fuji.
Showa Memorial Park (Tokyo)
Showa Memorial Park is a popular park with beautiful flowers such as cherry blossoms, rape blossoms, and tulips, but it is also famous for its beautiful yellow leaves. There are two rows of ginkgo trees in the park, and many people take photos in this golden tunnel, which is very popular as it makes for great photogenic.
If you want to propose in a less crowded place, we recommend going to the park on a weekday right after it opens. Also, because the park area is very large, it's a good idea to check the official website or map in advance to get an idea of where you want to propose.
Not only the ginkgo trees line the street, but the sight of the approximately 300 maple trees in the Japanese Garden turning red in autumn is also magnificent.

Kenrokuen Garden (Ishikawa)
Kenrokuen Garden in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, is one of the three most famous gardens in Japan, and is a historic site said to have a history of over 340 years. The vast grounds are home to a variety of quintessentially Japanese spots, including ponds, bridges, teahouses, magnificent pine trees, and artificial hills, and in the fall it is a beautiful tourist destination with beautiful autumn foliage.
The park also opens early on certain days, allowing you to enter for free. Not only can you see the beautiful autumn leaves illuminated by the morning sun, but there are few visitors, so you can even propose in a quiet space. There are many other great things about this park. You can check the dates for early morning opening and other points to note on the official website .
Also, although it is not ideal for proposals as there are a lot of people there, light-up events are held on certain days, creating a fantastical sight that is different from what you can see during the day.
Surprise proposal with autumn leaves
A sudden surprise while walking along a path of fallen leaves
In the latter half of the autumn season, the leaves turn red, orange, and yellow as they fall. Why not propose suddenly while strolling along a road with such beautiful scenery? Proposing in a world of vibrant colors will be a proposal that will remain in your memory forever.
A special production using the autumn scenery
How about creating a special display using autumn leaves and scenery?
For example, you could pick up some autumn leaves and pretend to show them to your partner, then give them a ring and propose marriage...or you could take your partner to a spot where you can see autumn leaves by saying, "Let's get a photographer to take a picture with the autumn leaves in Japan," and then propose marriage there...
If you take photos of the proposal scene, you can not only keep the moment as a memory, but also as a tangible record, so we recommend it. If you ask a photographer living in Japan, they may be able to give you advice on lesser known beautiful autumn foliage spots and suitable places for proposing.
