There's even a stamp rally to visit all three locations, so why not enjoy the autumn leaves while collecting stamps? 1️⃣ Momiji-en in Nagaoka City This expansive 4,000-square-meter garden is home to various maple trees, including the Iroha maple.

Niigata Yahiko Park has many red leaves, all around the park, very spectacular. The place to go during the red leaf season is the nearby Yahiko Shrine, which has many believers. After visiting the shrine, buy amulets for good luck all year round.
