Autumn Forecast in Tokyo 2018

Once summer is over and it starts getting cooler, it is soon time for the autumn season! Starting in October from Hokkaido, colorful fall season can be enjoyed throughout early to mid December across Japan.

That being said, coloring of the leaves largely depends on the proximal weather. Therefore, it can vary every year which makes the travel planning somewhat complex..

This year, it is forecasted that the temperature in October and November is as per usual, therefore we should be able to enjoy some coloring of the leaves as early as early November.
