Hakone is a great place to enjoy the autumn leaves in Japan, and the best time to enjoy the leaves is from October to November. When you step into Hakone, you feel like you are in a colorful dream world.
Around the Choanji Temple, tall maple trees surround the ancient temple, and the red leaves and the quaint buildings complement each other. When the autumn wind blows, the red leaves fall, either piling up on the stone steps or falling on the eaves and ponds of the temple, adding a bit of poetry and tranquility to the ancient temple. On the shore of Lake Ashi, the red leaves spread along the lakeshore. The fiery red and orange leaves are reflected in the clear lake water, forming a beautiful picture with Mount Fuji in the distance and the swaying boats on the lake.
Appreciating the red leaves in Hakone not only allows you to appreciate the beauty of nature, but also to experience the unique Japanese style and start an unforgettable autumn journey.
