Welcome to Autumn! In Japan, the beauty of autumn, known as 'koyo' (紅葉) or 'momiji,' is characterized by the mesmerizing transformation of the country's lush landscapes into a symphony of vibrant red, orange, and yellow foliage. The striking contrast of colorful leaves against historic temples, shrines, and traditional architecture is particularly enchanting.
