1. This article introduces the best time to view the foliage in each area’s onsen resorts, as well as a number of selected ryokans in each onsen area.
2. The best time to view fall colours listed here is based on open information published in Japan.(Survey date : September 25, 2019) Influenced by the weather and other natural factors, the actual period when autumnal leaf colouration meets its peak might be a little bit different from our prediction.
