Product Info
- Shuzenji Onsen
Known as the 'Little Kyoto of Izu,' Shuzenji Onsen is one of the most iconic hot spring towns in Izu. In autumn, the maple trees along the Katsura River turn vibrant shades of red. The quaint cobblestone streets, bamboo groves, and the hot spring town create a rich, traditional Japanese autumn atmosphere. Stroll between Shuzenji Temple, Tokko-no-yu, and the hot spring streets to experience the leisurely charm where history and nature intertwine—a classic spot for autumn foliage viewing in Izu that you cannot miss.
★Best viewing period: Mid-November to early December
- Shuzenji Nature Park Maple Forest
The maple forest within Shuzenji Nature Park is one of the premier foliage spots in the Izu region. With over 1,000 maple trees planted in the park, the hillsides are painted in layers of red, orange, and yellow from mid-November to early December, forming a spectacular autumn leaf tunnel. The afternoon sunlight filtering through the maples creates a dreamlike scene, making it a favorite hidden gem for photographers and foliage enthusiasts.
★Best viewing period: Mid-November to early December
- Shuzenji Nijino-sato
Shuzenji Nijino-sato is a large themed garden that blends British-style gardens, a Canadian village, and Japanese garden aesthetics. Every autumn, it hosts the popular 'Autumn Foliage Illumination' event, where the park's approximately 2,000 maple trees are illuminated, creating a dreamlike scene reflected in the ponds and gardens, offering a romantic atmosphere completely different from the daytime. The interplay of red leaves and lights in the Japanese garden area is particularly stunning, making you feel as if you have stepped into a painting. It is one of the most iconic night foliage spots in the Izu region.
★Best viewing period: Mid-November to early December
- Izu Fruit Park
When visiting Izu in autumn, you must not miss the iconic 'Mandarin Orange Picking Experience'! The Mishima area, where Izu Fruit Park is located, enjoys a warm climate and ample sunshine, producing Mishima mandarin oranges that are perfectly balanced in sweetness and acidity with a rich aroma. From late autumn to winter, it is the peak season for mandarin oranges, and visitors can pick plump oranges directly from the trees to enjoy their fresh, sweet taste. The fruit picking experience at the park is usually all-you-can-eat without time limits, allowing you to fully enjoy the joyful atmosphere of a bountiful harvest in a Japanese orchard.
The most representative sight is the Katsura Bridge (Red Bridge) that spans the stream. The bright red bridge contrasts beautifully with the surrounding vibrant maple leaves, creating a classic autumn scene in Shuzenji and a popular spot for photographers.
Stroll along the maple forest trails, feel the romantic atmosphere surrounded by red leaves, and fully appreciate the most charming autumn scenery of Izu.
