Frequently asked questions about autumn leaves
Q When is the best time to see the autumn leaves?
A Did you know that there is an "autumn leaves front" in autumn as well as a "cherry blossom front" in spring? The autumn leaves front starts in Hokkaido in mid-September and goes south to Kyushu in early December. The altitude of each region and the climate from spring to summer also affect the autumn colors, so for detailed information such as the beginning of coloring and the best time to see the autumn colors, it is a good idea to check the autumn leaves forecast and forecast site for that year.
Q Why do the leaves of the trees turn red?
A From spring to summer, the leaves actively photosynthesize, but as the seasons progress and the daylight hours become shorter, the energy obtained by photosynthesis decreases. Therefore, the trees prepare for winter by collecting green chlorophyll, which photosynthesizes, from the leaves as nutrients and dropping the leaves. Until the leaves fall, the pigments left on the leaves and the newly created ingredients entertain people as yellow and red "autumn leaves."
Q How to enjoy "Autumn Leaves" more?
A Of course, orthodox hunting for autumn leaves, where you can see the mountains colored by trekking at the autumn leaves spot, is also good, but how about enjoying the autumn leaves from a place that is a bit different from usual? It is also recommended to enjoy the red and yellow gradation from the "water surface" with a kayak or SUP, or from the "air" with a helicopter or bungee jump.
Q What are the activities unique to autumn?
A Autumn, which has a better climate than summer and winter, is a perfect season to enjoy physical activity. Enjoy the autumn scenery by cycling or Nordic walking. For those who are a little outdoors, we recommend cultural experiences such as guided tours of history and kimono rental. You can expect the photos taken with the autumn leaves in the background to look good on SNS!
