It’s Kouyou time!
Written by Jeshii on 2008.10.16 – 18:13 -
Everyone knows about the 桜 (sakura) time and 花見 (hanami) parties, but the complementary time in 秋 (aki) is the coming of the 紅葉 (kouyou) when the leaves around Japan start to change colors.
If you are planning to visit Japan, I highly recommend autumn, especially if you are a nature person. The weather is no longer blistering hot and the rainy season is over, so you can go outside and do some excellent hiking.
Go check out goo for the 紅葉 guide and you can check how far along the leaves are near you. And, if you don’t live in Japan, we can always live vicariously through flickr.
