Kyoto autumn leaves

thomas · 20 Oct 2022

For those of you missing the autumn season in Japan, there are some websites that allow you to experience kōyō (紅葉) online. One of them is hosted by JR Central:

Souda Kyoto Ikou is operated by the Central Japan Railway Company and is regularly updated with new images from around 70 locations. The company's employees are out and about in the city, taking high-resolution pictures of the colours and condition of the fall foliage. The historic sites invite you to linger with their Zen gardens, ancient trees and intricately designed tea rooms. In spring and summer, the radiant green is convincing, while in autumn, the bright colours provide variety.

It was last open to the public in 2019, before the novel coronavirus pandemic hit. Rain did not stop a crowd of visitors from enjoying the changing colors and taking photos. The event will continue until Dec. 4. The street is open between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., with the final exit at 3:30 p.m. Visitors were required to have their temperatures checked before entering the grounds and wear face masks as well as disinfect their hands.

Many people come to Maine to see the leaves change color and we call them "leaf peepers". I however am not a great fan , LOL. My lawn , car , and rain gutters get buried in about 3 inches of dead leaves which keep me busy cleaning them up for about a month.
