Colorful leaves (koyo) are to the Japanese autumn what
cherry blossoms are to spring. The viewing of autumn leaves has been a popular activity in Japan for centuries and today draws large numbers of travelers to
famous koyo spots both in the mountains and in the cities.
Each year, starting in mid September, the "koyo front" slowly moves southwards from the northern island of
Hokkaido until it reaches the lower elevations of central and southern Japan towards the end of November. Some trees around
Tokyo and
Kyoto remain colorful into early December.
