- Itinerary Introduction -
- Whenever Korankei is mentioned, I believe many people will immediately think of the autumn leaves here. November is the best time to see the beautiful red leaves. There are about 4,000 maple trees here, all dyed red or yellow, showing the most original autumn scenery to the public! In addition, around early November every year, there is a maple leaf lighting event here at dusk until about 9 pm for a month. You can enjoy a completely different atmosphere from the daytime!
- Located in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, Ohara Shikizakura is the only place where you can enjoy the lovely pink cherry blossoms and the fiery red and yellow maple leaves at the same time! Shikizakura is a rare cherry blossom variety that blooms twice a year, in spring and autumn. Therefore, you can see the very precious cherry blossom and maple leaf landscape here.
