Fall Foliage, the autumn leaves of the Japanese Maple Tree (Momiji)
Asking when the peak season for autumn leaves in Nikko is like asking when it snows in Japan?
Dates vary widely with latitude and elevation. Nikko is 40km X 40 km and is between 500m and 2486m above sea level.
This photograph was made on November 3rd in southern Nikko, in the village of Okorogawa.
