Tips to Make the Most of Tokyo’s Autumn
To fully enjoy your autumn trip to Tokyo, pair these festivals with scenic fall foliage spots and evening illuminations.
At Meiji Jingu Gaien and Shinjuku Gyoen, the autumn leaves create breathtaking tunnels of red and gold.
Visit before or after an event for the perfect seasonal photo.

Bring a scarf or light jacket to stay comfortable while exploring.
Don’t miss the nighttime illuminations — Yoyogi and Hibiya Parks transform with glowing lights and magical atmospheres.
