If cherry blossom defines spring in Japan, autumn is all about koyo. At this time of year, mid-September to mid-November (and into early December around Tokyo and Kyoto), Japan is set ablaze by the colourful Autumn leaves.
The “koyo front” moves southwards from Hokkaido, the northern island, until it reaches the lower slopes of central and southern Japan (by the end of November).
