From mid-October to the end of November, the entire country turns crimson-red with maple leaves. This period is called momiji (momiji - red leaves). Maples in Japan are perhaps the main tourist attraction of the autumn season. Blood red, they attract the eye and create a landscape of unsurpassed beauty.The Japanese are very sensitive to trees - they see them as a source of inspiration, something poetic. Therefore, admiring momiji is of great importance to them. Momiji-gari - translated as hunting for maple leaves - is a very significant and important event for local residents.
Autumn in Japan a magical time!
