What to expect
- First Stop: Kokisan Eihoji Temple, a Zen temple standing on Mt. Kokisan, founded in 1313 by National Master Muso during the Kamakura period. It features a 700-year-old ginkgo tree and stunning red maple leaves. Eihoji Temple's autumn foliage is one of the 33 selections of Hida-Mino Autumn Leaves. In autumn, the maple leaves in the garden echo the large ginkgo tree in front of the main hall, adorning the autumn blue sky with colorful hues.
- Second Stop: Obara Shikizakura Festival, located in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. The Obara Shikizakura is a hybrid of the wild cherry species "Mamezakura" and "Edo Higan." Unlike the common Somei Yoshino cherry, it blooms in spring, but its true peak bloom is in autumn. Over 10,000 Shikizakura trees are planted in the Obara area of Toyota City, and because autumn is also the time when the maple leaves turn red, Obara offers the unique scenery of enjoying both autumn leaves and cherry blossoms at the same time.
- Third Stop: Korankei, Korankei is the number one autumn foliage spot in the Tokai region of Japan, located in the Okumikawa Asuke-cho National Park. To this day, there are more than 4,000 trees of 11 different varieties of maple trees along the Korankei River. The beautiful stream of the Tomoe River, accompanied by the burning autumn leaves, is like a brocade autumn scroll and a must-visit autumn foliage spot for Japanese people.













Reviews
Overall, it was a great experience, and the tour guide was very attentive! They recommended where to eat and the best places to take pictures at each attraction! The only downside was that the time allotted at each attraction was a little short. I believe the early departure from the last stop, Korankei, was to avoid traffic, but we still got to see the beautiful illuminations!
When I initially signed up for the tour, I discovered it was already confirmed, which was a great arrangement. In comparison, when I went to Osaka, I had signed up for the Naruto Whirlpool and Tottori Sand Dunes tours, only to find out a few days before departure that they were canceled, forcing me to replan my itinerary, which was inconvenient.
A little late to experience the full bloom of autumn leaves...
