The Autumn Foliage Front
70% of Japanese landmass consists of mountains. As a result, much of these areas are covered in trees meaning the autumn foliage is particularly beautiful the deeper into the hills you go. Moving in the opposite direction to the cherry blossom front of springtime, The Autumn Foliage Front begins in Hokkaido where winter's chill arrives first and slowly descends southwards. The best time for viewing the foliage in the Kanto area is around mid November.
Autumn in Akiyoshidai (Yamaguchi)
The geology on the Akiyoshidai plateau consists primarily of limestone rocks with the inevitable and resulting limestone caves being found in the area too. The scenery of wild autumn surrounding the dots of white limestone protruding from the ground produces an image not dissimilar to that of grazing sheep and is most beautiful.
