The fall foliage in Kyoto is perhaps even more beautiful than cherry blossoms. The spectacular autumn colors around the temples and shrines are absolutely worth the visit. However, you can simply enjoy maple leaves scattered anywhere you go in the beautiful streetscape of Kyoto. In early November when it cools down, maple leaves start to change their colors in the northern areas of Kyoto, depending on a delicate growing environment and a slight weather change. They continue to change inconsistently up until mid-December, which is about the end of the best viewing season.The photographs in this book are dedicated to the beautiful fall sceneries in Kyoto, taken by the acclaimed photographer Kazuhiko Mizuno . It will inspire readers to visit Kyoto right away and explore the beauty of changing leaves there.
