Fall Foliage Tours
While the spring is all about the delicate pink of the sakura, the Fall Foliage season (Koyo) is a dramatic explosion of fiery reds, deep oranges, and brilliant golds. If you want to experience the best of Japan’s autumn without getting lost in the "momijigari" (maple hunting) crowds, our 2026 small-group day tours are the answer. Departing from Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka, we take you straight to the heart of the scenery—from the iconic maple-framed Mount Fuji to the golden temple paths of Kyoto and Nara.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is it as crowded as the cherry blossoms?Yes, especially in Kyoto. Our small-group format allows us to maneuver more easily than large coaches.
2. When should I book?Peak autumn dates (late Nov) usually sell out 3–4 months in advance. We recommend booking by August.
3. What if I arrive in October?Mt. Fuji is your best bet! Colors begin at higher altitudes long before they reach the cities.
4. Is it cold?It's crisp. Expect around 10-15°C (50-60°F). Layered clothing is essential for day trips.
