What to expect
On this meticulously planned autumn day trip, we will take you to Kyushu's most iconic autumn foliage spots. Starting from Fukuoka, we will first head to Saga to visit Kunenan, a Japanese garden famous for its rare autumn leaves, open only for 9 days each autumn, making it a highly anticipated hidden gem during the fall foliage season. If it's not open, we will visit the adjacent Hibi Shrine instead, where you can still experience the tranquil autumn atmosphere among the mountain paths, stone steps, and ancient shrine.
In the evening, we will go to Mifuneyama Rakuen in Takeo City, Saga, to immerse ourselves in the "Forest of Art" light and shadow exhibition created by the art team teamLab. Through the interplay of lights, natural terrain, and autumn leaves, it creates a dreamlike night maple experience, making it one of the most popular visual art spectacles in recent years.
Finally, on the way back, we will stop at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, a representative shrine of Fukuoka. The vermilion bridge and ancient trees intertwined with autumn colors, and the approach covered with fallen leaves, add a sense of solemnity and tenderness to your autumn itinerary, and it is also a popular spot for prayers and photos.
No need to drive or rush; you can easily connect the famous autumn foliage spots in Saga and Fukuoka in one day, enjoying the splendor and tranquility of autumn in Kyushu.
