Japan in red: autumn leaves, 9 – 17 November, 19 – 27 November 2022

Japan is one of the most enigmatic countries in the world.

We offer you to go to Japan in one of the most wonderful seasons of the year – in autumn, when the maples are in bloom. The Japanese enjoy viewing autumn colors. They call it Momijigari. Momiji is the Japanese name for Acer palmatum, the Japanese maple tree. Colorful leaves (koyo) are to the Japanese autumn what cherry blossoms are to spring.
