Highlights of the Red Maple Season

In autumn, Japan transforms into a true masterpiece, thanks to the red maple season, known as “momiji” in Japanese. This period not only marks a change in nature but also a traditional celebration of the beauty of autumn leaves. Here’s what makes this season special:

Timing: The season starts in late October and lasts until early December, with the peak in mid-November.
Colors: Bright red, orange, and golden hues of the maples create stunning landscapes.

Best places to experience momiji:

  • Kyoto: The temples of Kiyomizu-dera and Tofuku-ji offer breathtaking views of red maples, blending perfectly with ancient architecture.

  • Nikko: A national park with beautiful waterfalls and mountain scenery, where the maples truly embrace nature.

  • Mount Fuji: At the foot of the iconic mountain, the autumn landscapes are especially majestic.

  • Tokyo: In Shinkawa Park and the Meguro district, you can see maples right in the heart of the metropolis.

Traditions: Many locals and tourists enjoy picnicking under the maples, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.
Getting there: There are approximately 100 direct flights from the UAE to Japan every month, with a flight time of around 9-10 hours, depending on the airline and destination (Tokyo, Osaka, or other cities).
