The No.1 Autumn Foliage Spot in Kanto! The Autumn Leaf Waterfalls of Nikko are Amazing

Want to experience a unique autumn view? Then you must visit the Autumn Leaf Waterfalls of Nikko! 🌊 This is the most famous spot for autumn leaves in Kanto~ 🍁 The most complete maple viewing guide: ✨ Nikko National Park (Address: Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture): This is a popular spot during the autumn foliage season! Every photo looks like a masterpiece 📸 📌 Kegon Falls (Best viewing period: Early October to mid-November) The waterfall plunges from a height of 97 meters, surrounded by colorful maple leaves—truly breathtaking! 😱 The orange, yellow, and red leaves paired with the white waterfall are stunning! 📌 Lake Chuzenji (Best viewing period: Mid-October to early November) The lake water is super clear, and the surrounding maple leaves reflect on the surface, looking like an oil painting 🖼️ 📌 Toshogu Shrine (Best viewing period: Early to late November) A 400-year-old shrine! The magnificent golden buildings combined with the rustic red leaves create a very poetic atmosphere~🏯 📌 Irohazaka (Best viewing period: Mid-October to early November) A mountain road with 48 sharp turns, lined on both sides with fiery red maples. Driving through feels like entering a fairy tale! 🚗 ✨ Lesser-known maple viewing treasures: 📌 Nikko Futarasan Shrine (Yamauchi, Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture) Thousand-year-old trees with red leaves, mysterious and peaceful, with relatively fewer tourists~ 📌 Rinnoji Temple (Yamauchi, Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture) The maple leaf paths in the garden are perfect for photos! Wearing a kimono for photos here feels amazing 👘 ⚠️ Tips: 1⃣️ Hotels are extremely hard to book during the autumn foliage season (October-November)! It’s recommended to book 3 months in advance 🏨 2⃣️ Large temperature differences between day and night, remember to bring warm clothes 🧥 3⃣️ The best times for photography are before 9 AM and after 3 PM, when the lighting is optimal 📷
