Autumn Tours from Tokyo

Taking a day trip from Tokyo is a popular way to explore the Autumn colors around Mt. Fuji and Nikko, with trips departing from Tokyo Station and Shinjuku.

Each year, Mt. Fuji’s fall foliage draws visitors with bright reds and yellows that set the region aglow from mid-October to late November. During this time, the mountain often sports its iconic snowcap, creating a postcard-worthy backdrop. The best spots include Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Yamanaka, and the Subaru Line to the Fifth Station. Plus, seasonal festivals and fireworks displays extend the experience from the day well into the night.

In Nikko, colors peak from mid-October to mid-November, with highlights such as Irohazaka Road, Lake Chuzenji, and Kegon Falls.
