“Japan’s earliest autumn leaves” A collaboration between autumn leaves and a sea of clouds!

2020.10.02

At the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, which is a representative tourist destination in Toyama Prefecture, the best time to see the autumn leaves is in Japan (* 1).
Since there is a difference in altitude from the summit to the foot of the mountain at an altitude of 3,015m, you can enjoy the autumn leaves for about a month and a half while shifting the time in various places.
Furthermore, after June, there are many months when the incidence of “sea of clouds” exceeds 50%, and you can see the collaboration between autumn leaves and the sea of clouds for a limited time. This year, it is said that traveling abroad is difficult, so please enjoy the magnificent view of the mountains of Switzerland while staying in Japan.
