Autumn Leaves Calendar

Kyoto’s autumn culminates in a spectacle of brilliant colors!

The picturesque gardens in famous temples, the rich foliage of the hills surrounding the city, the leafy retreats found in the center of the ancient capital, and the rustic views in the less-crowded countryside just a stretch away: from renowned favorites to less-known destinations, Kyoto is full of splendid locations to immerse yourself in the autumn colors. Make plans for future visits or check updates on how the leaves are turning color now by using the Autumn Leaves Calendar!
