Rikugien Autumn leaves best time 2024

The historically rich Japanese garden adorned with autumn colors:

Located near Komagome Station, Rikugien (Rikugi-en) is a prominent daimyo garden representing the Edo period with its circuit-style landscaped hills and springs. In late November, approximately 400 Japanese maple trees (Iroha Kaede), along with other autumnal foliage such as Japanese wax trees (Doudantsutsuji) and ginkgo trees, totaling around 560 trees, vividly paint the garden. Visitors can enjoy autumn foliage throughout the garden, with particularly stunning views in the western part of the garden around the Suiko-en pond. The Azalea Tea House and Sansui Bridge are especially picturesque.
