Kyoto is one of the best places in Japan for viewing Autumn leaves. On our Photo Tour we will visit the best and most popular places, which includes many temples, shrines and gardens.
The Autumn leaves in Kyoto generally turn stunning red and orange colours in the last two weeks of November. Locations with limited sun or higher in the hills tend to change color earlier. The timing of the Autumn leaves varies from year to year depending of the weather in the prior weeks.
