Rikugien Garden is the best thanks to being relatively out-of-the-way. You can easily forget that you are in the city. It is so magnificent in autumn when maple trees turn red and yellow.... After a leisurely walk you arrive at the tiny tea house with a Japanese Garden bridge which overlooks the pond, the turtles and the superb autumn colors. A bliss !!

Lotsa vibrant red and yellow leaves — the mountains looked like they were on fire. Best time of the year methinks.

On the streets, everyone is wearing woolies which provide so much texture and deep colour in anticipation of fall foliage. I love the autumn here.

I come from the upper midwest in the States, and I have found out how much I miss cold weather. Now that the cold weather is finally here, I am loving it. You can always wear more clothes to keep warm, (in the summer you can't easily escape the heat) and I just hate sweating all the time, you know? On the other hand, there is one downside to autumn. It's not a big problem. Well, it actually is a big problem--the females start wearing more clothes... My second month here, and I have to second the notion that I am loving the cold weather.

Get drunk at Yoyogi park and do some people watching. I have seen and talked to some very interesting people there as of late. My suggestion. Get drunk at Yoyogi park and do some people watching.

My favorite places to see it are Mount Takao on a clear and sunny cold day when you also get a fabulous view of Mount Fuji in the background. Nikko is another favorite wandering round the temples and grabbing some soba or ramen to warm me up after a long day walking. I do love the koyo.

It was nine degrees when we arrived at 2pm and it sooo wonderful to be genuinely COLD and need ot rug up a bit. It was too drizzly to enjoy the open air Museum (for which we will return in Spring) but there was plenty to do in town with the morning markets, the shrine and float museums and the wonderful hida beef to enjoy from street vendors and restaurants alike. The hida gyuu man from the morning market are to die for!! We drove from Nagoya and it took about 3 hrs but it was worth it to have the car to get around. Later in winter it will no doubt be beautiful but it will be a train trip as the roads are closed for safety.
