FAQ
1. When is the optimal period to witness autumn foliage at Kyoto's prominent scenic spots?
Kyoto's autumn foliage typically reaches its peak from late November to early December. However, this can vary slightly each year based on weather conditions. Early to mid-November might see colors starting to emerge, especially in higher elevations, while late November often showcases vibrant reds and golds across most major temples and shrines, including Komyo-ji Temple and Nanzen-ji Temple.
