"Japanese Koyo (Autumn Red leaves) Tours"
"Koyo" are to the Japanese autumn what cherry blossoms are to spring. The viewing of autumn leaves has been a quite popular activity in Japan for centuries and today draws large numbers of travelers to famous spots.
Each year, starting in mid September, the "koyo front" slowly moves southwards from the northern island of Hokkaido until it reaches the lower elevations of central and southern Japan towards the end of November.
Fruit-picking in Japan
During summer and autumn, people enjoy fruit-picking. Japanese fruits have perfect shapes and beautiful colors, and juicy and sweet tastes. In some Asian countries, Japanese fruits are sold at a high price. You can get such beautiful fruits easily from greengrocers or supermarkets throughout the year, but it tastes especially delicious if you pick by yourself in a natural setting.
Fruits gardens are periodically open for tourist, and allow them to pluck fruits by the hour. Payment is made either by collecting an entrance fee to orchards, or measuring the fruit in the basket before leaving the fruits garden.
There are a number of fruits gardens across the country. One of the most visit site is Yamanashi prefecture, which is easy to access from Tokyo. There are some day trips offered by tour bus companies, available during summer and autumn.
During summer, grapes and peaches are in season, and during autumn, apples, Japanese pears, Japanese persimmons are ready to be eaten. Why don’t you try fruit-picking in the countryside in Japan?
