Travel Guide for AUTUMN in JAPAN 🍁 

HELLO AUTUMN! 🍁 Let us know if we should make more sit down 'travel guides'!

Emma + Sarah = Best Duo Ever ❤😊

I went to Japan in Autumn of 2018, and for some random reason decided to visit Matsumoto and the trees up in the mountains were all colored and just really nice to surround myself with. The city was pretty nice too.

Emma and Sarah are the best combo. Just a really fun energy

I love the chemistry of Emma and Sarah, so any sit-down format they do is very cozy and friendly 😊 But I will say I prefer seeing live the places they mention, so yes, let's send this amazing combo on leaf foliage hunting trips 😂

The first time I had sweet potato and pumpkin tempura was in Tokyo in 2012. It’s still my favorite tempura.

Yes please. Take us on a tour of some parks when the leaves turn. You could make an episode of visits to multiple parks and locations.

My plane to Japan leaves on the 1st of November ❤ It's my first time and I'm so excited ❤

It must be a nice change of pace for a video where you two don't have to be actively going somewhere, doing things, etc. Just comfortably talking about your favorite things is a great video and so easy for you guys, which I like. You don't always have to be doing 37 crazy things fit into 2 days for us. Stay healthy and comfy.

Hokkaido sounds like the Canadian Prairies when it comes to fall foliage. The best time to see it is late September to mid-October.

😂 at Sarah. Goes 90% to 122% when she talks about Kyoto 100% of the time . I will definitely have to come back in autumn now!

Hi Emma and Sarah. I live in the northernmost region of Norway, 500 km north of the arctic circle. Around here autumn is already over, all leaves are gone. We have snow on the ground from 100 meter above sealevel. Winter is closing in. I'm going to Tokyo in late November, autum leaves may be gone by the time I arrive. Anyhow I will look out for the illuminations that are found a lot of places in Tokyo. Oi, now I have to go to Kyoto sometime soon 🤩 and Kanagawa. The more I learn about Japan, the more places I have to visit. I always wanted to go to Japan, in 2023 I finally did it. I've been to Japan two times this year already, and have a trip to Yokohama coming up in late November, I'm so happy Po. You may visit Tamatsukuri Onsen, close to Matsue in Shimane prefecture 🙂 I hope to visit this place sometime in the future.

i would like to recommend Okutsu Valley in Okayama!, the scenery is so beautiful and having those autumn leaves travelling on the water is so beautiful to watch!

Yes!! Please make videos of the two of you going to all the places!! :D

Woah, I did not expect Kiba park to be mentioned in any video ever. I stayed in Japan for a year from Summer 2022 to Summer 2023 and stayed at various airbnbs that were in Koto-ku and Kiba park was one of the first places I walked through. It isn't the largest park ever but it's very nice and that's also an area that not many tourists go to since it is a bit out of center Tokyo.

Sapporo and all of Hokkaido is amazing in autumn, Hokkaido University is famous for their Ginkgo Avenue and Mt. Moiwa is amazing, Jozankei is always great

Thanks for the recommendations! Some of these locations look gorgeous and I loved hearing your memories of the food you’ve tried in the areas and mentions of other fun things to do in the same areas. Would sort of appreciate a written list or some sort of link to copy and paste into Google so that we can see where these locations are relative to Tokyo / determine travel time from our hotel locations, but overall, really appreciate the tips on weather and how to dress! Thanks for sharing!!

We saw amazing foliage on Itsukushima Island near Hiroshima in the first half of November 2018! If you want to get a bit away from the crowds, stay on the island overnight so you can get up early before all the school trips and day-trippers descend. Some of my best autumn photos were from their Momiji park with the deer.

lots of great tips and suggestions! great to hear the ladies talk about this! hopefully they do more in the future!

Kenrokuen in autumn is stunning!!! Bloody recommended!!

I'm going in 3 weeks for the very first time! This is perfect :)

Showa Kinen Park in Tachikawa, Tokyo is also pretty in Autumn

Your videos are excellent...!! Keep up the good work. I have only visited Japan once back 'in autumn'....2018....it was fantastic. Cant wait to return. Became addicted to the egg sandwiches from the convenience stores....plus Boss coffee in a can. Oh and plus...the bakeries....arrh and everything else food wise...LOL 😂😂👍👍 In terms of other places for you both to review......Id love to see you go to the most remote, most traditional Japanese town its possible to visit.

Thanks for this, will be in Japan from late Nov to early Dec this year and can't wait to hit some of those spots!

Emma , ur right about Jindaiji Temple, i went there for the Daruma Doll festival back in 2011 - it was a great experience with so many food stalls and games!

Packing for my autumn trip right now, impeccable timing team

Awww, I hope the Sad Shrimp watched this video! She needs to know she is remembered and missed!

Autumn is also the best season of Japanese foods.

Well i will be in in japan at the end of October so watching this helps.

Definitely would love to see Shirakawago in full blown Autumn mode... I'll be in Kyoto for about a month in November, so I definitely hope to make the journey out there! 😁

Definetly do all seasons. I bet all of them do have something to offer - even the summer. ;)

If you go to Kyoto in the autumn, do it in the middle of the week. Weekends when the leaves are the best, it is nearly impossible find a taxi as they are all reserved. Kiyomizudera with the night lights is awesome.

Nara was really amazing in November last year ! Even though it was a shame because of the rain on the day I was there... Also Magome-juku, great place to visit in Autumn !

Tohoku is on my list for Autumn. I’m not sure why but I’ve a feeling the nature would be showing off during Autumn there.

Landed in Tokyo yesterday, so this will come in handy, cheers!! :-)

Yes, thank you for posting a video on Autumn spots! Favourited in my holiday plan folder :)

I think you mentioned Northern Japan. Would love to see what its like. Also curious about Okinawa this time of year. Y'all are awesome!

It's almost you know I am travelling to Japan next week !

Perfect timing! I'm so close to my trip and I'm starting to plan all the touristy stuff I want to do this time around!

Okay you need to go to the hidden gem quieter places you mentioned and this should be a seasonal thing and series for the channel PLEASEEEEEE

My top 5 autumn viewing: Nikko, Guji Hachiman, Sapporo (inc. Maruyama as mentioned), Toyama and Fukui.

Best time(month n days) to visit Osaka, mt fuji n kyoto in autumn 2024

Yay! Exactly what ive been hoping for! Autumn in Japan!

Thanks for Autumn (=aki) tips! I would be interested to hear winter tips!

i'll be landing on the 16th November - super excited , am heading straight to Nara , a nite in Dorogawa then up to Kanazawa , day trip to Kurobe Gorge and hopefully the Kanazawa Unesco Hakusan Tedorigawa geopark ...i hope the leaves will still be colourful !

I do plan to go to Japan in the Autumn when I can finally afford it, but I am Canadian so the last thing I will be there for is leaves changing colours. Haha We get more than enough of that here! But will be down for the cooler weather, onsens, and the hot tasty drinks and foods!

Going to most of the places you mentioned in early-mid Nov. I'm sure I won't score the leaf bingo on all of these places but looking forward to seeing the beauty of Japan in the fall. Can't wait!

Lots of interesting places. Even if I'd probably want to aim for Sakura season rather than autumn if I ever find myself travelling to Japan, a lot of these places seem like they'd be nice to visit regardless of season😀

Yes! Sarah and Emma ❤

Go to some of places that you both have not visited in the fall.

One of my favourite places to visit in Autumn was just anything around Mount Daisen and Tottori city. There are still a lot of tourists , especially on the main travel paths for the mountain or seeking some more famous instagram-able ginko trees in Tottori city, but if you go for the lesser known paths or some of the more open areas you can just wander about and just embrace some beautiful gold and red foliage everywhere and no where near as busy as Kyoto and the like. There are boat tours around the coast to the north all the way to Uradome if you want to do a circular tour (south by land to get to Kofu, around Daisen, north via the coast back to Tottori) that give you some visuals you don't get any other time of year.

Maybe if ye made a video for accessible day trips for fall scenery by jr pass around japan? My brother and i are going in november and won't have access to a car

Awesome job ladies

I'm excited for Autumn. I'll be going next month with my husband and toddler. We live in Florida so autumn doesn't exist. It's way too hot and the leaves don't change. I would like to see how Shimokitazawa and Nagameguro is like in the autumn. I know it's super pretty in the spring, but I couldn't find pictures of autumn there. Also we will be going to Meiji Park, what's it like in the Autumn? As well as Kichijoji. Thanks for your videos. You guys are great ❤

Tokyo Creative another informative video. Thank you. 😊

Autumn = the BEST 🍁❤

Please visit Suwa! It's soooo pretty.

Was in Kyoto end of August (yes i DID NOT heed the heat warnings) and can only imagine how the area around the Mizudera will look! If you got the energy, follow the path behind the pagoda and pay 100¥ for the shrine's maintenance. Another amazing viewpoint, even when the sign says "good viewpoint soon".

yes please, onsen tours would be lovely, Kinosaki has been on my list for too long. In winter with snow brrrr. cheers from central victoria ...... m8 !

Such a great informative vid ladies X we are heading to Tokyo and Osaka at the end of October for 3 weeks (our last time was 2011 😭) I cannot wait to see all the colourful leaves and eat all the delicious food!! Can you recommend a great wagashi shop to take my fiance and our friends who have never been to Japan :)

I was in Japan in November 2019 and it was so warm and sunny everyday (I came from Scotland where for comparison it was already really cold and wet). The best place for autumn leave I went was the ropeway to Mount Misen on Itsukushima - absolutely stunning!

Thank you so much for this video ladies 👏. I'm coming to Japan in 2 years, this month and I can't wait. I'm so glad that you said that it's warm during the day. Love the thumb 👍 village Sarah 😂. I always look forward to your videos. Take care everyone at TC 🫶

I will be in Sapporo in 5 days time! I’m so excited!

Omg please go to shirakawago! It looks amazing! 🍂🍁

Tips for winter holidays next, please! I might be able to travel to Japan next January and it being in the middle of winter has me wondering what to do and what not to do.

Best autumn foliage spot in Japan, personally i think it would be Korankei near Nagoya, Aichi

I would love to see Kayabuki No Sato in autumn! Or Kayabuki No Sato 🍁

But Winter will be interesting for you guys. Maybe a work trip to Hokaido

October is the best time to go to Hokkaido. We did Jigokudani onsen town in October for our honeymoon and it was absolutely beautiful and perfect weather. Honestly most of Japan is best in fall. It's adorable to see everyone getting into Halloween too.

Great ideas as always BUT I HAVE ALREADY RESCHEDULED 12 TIMES THANKS TO YOUR INSPIRATIONS! Only 7 sleeps till Sapporo so hoping for some stunning colours. Hakone is also on the schedule and I have added last minute a train ride through Kurobe gorge near Toyama which just looks stunning. Hot as hell in Portugal during summer so looking forward to cooler times and stunning scenery. Thanks ladies, so informative as always.

I love Jindaiji and funny enough not many tourists go there as its not mentioned a lot online.

Sadshrimps Represent!!

I'd love to hear more about that pirate boat.

In response to your last question at the end, YES PLEASE share the Autumn vibes and send these two ladies somewhere nice and relaxing! I would love to see Shirakawago (the 'thumb' house village), or Shizuoka as it's on my list, or Hokkaido because Emma so diligently looked up places and I do wonder if it gets colder there in Autumn. Please TC, we need to see the Autumn vibes. :)

Send the girls to Yakushima!

I intend to go next autumn, so this was a very helpful video, thx! I'd love to see Kurobe Gorge, Kanazawa and do the trek from Tsumago to Magome besides the ever popular Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. Will try to squeeze in Nikko, but 3 weeks is not that much time for the things I want to do. 😂

Emma rockin the Sadshrimps T-shirt. Natasha ! Come back !

Love the videos! Would recommend you keep the names of the places up for a bit longer. Or have a picture/name of the place in a corner of the screen when you cut back to you two talking. It would make it easier to write down if I or someone else finds the place interesting.

Yamadera in Yamagata prefecture, up the temple^^

Please give some tips on winter skin/haircare since the air gets CRAZY dry! I usually don't wear most of my winter sweaters b/c the fibers make too much static and my hair gets poofy. =/

When’s the best time to see the snow monkeys. I need to make the pilgrimage

Headed to Gotanda for a work trip. Any places you'd recommend to see Autumn beauty besides along Naka-Meguro and the areas you mentioned?

From Nagoya Shirakawa Go is really good to access by Tour Bus, costs like 70-90€ for a day trip. I first wanted to go from Kanazawa but from there the tours were so fckg expensive! Like 500-900€....

i'd personally be greateful if you could talk about what to wear depending on the season }.9

Will you be doing any suggestions for winter soon? :) Will be visited Japan again in Feb next year for the winter festival in Sapporo but need other ideas as well to fill my 3 weeks!

I haven't been there yet but have heard Nikko is great place during autumn.. so do tell about it.

how incredible channel, catch ya later!;)

I live in Colorado, USA. We have a habit of saying you know what season you're in by looking at Mt. Blue Sky (formerly Mt. Evans). It's fall so she's starting to get all dressed up (dusted with snow). It's winter when she has enough snow to change her outline and it's summer when you can see her outline again. Are there any tell tales like that in Japan? Geographic features folk trust more than the calendar?

Old and business side of Japan how are is it to set up your own venture, company, store, brand, and does copy right change per country (national vs. global)

I mean I have absolutely no intention of travelling to Japan or anywhere else despite how much I love the country, since I don’t fly for climate reasons. But any video with Sarah and Emma is always very funny and informative. I’ve always just done my exploring through the videos. Maybe I’m weird in that respect, but I find that I probably absorb a lot of Japanese culture without being there. If I was, I’d probably just wander around and feel overwhelmed at all the things I could do but don’t have enough time for.

💗💗💖💖💗💗💗💗💗💗

Tattoo friendly onsen in hakone!

I can't find any info about the autumn light up at kyu shiba rikyu, can someone help point me in the right direction?

Japan went from hot summer until third week of September to shitty cold this October. Where's my not so hot not so cold Autumn?!

Go to the street with those Ginkgo trees and interview the people responsible for the future tree-cutting 👉

Will October be ok for autumn leaves in Hokkaido ? You put up November as date?

How cold does it get in Tokyo during the autumn?

Why are they tearing down that Ginko street!?!?

No, we don’t cut down those Ginko trees in Gaien. So, don’t worry.
