We have made it to November, when most of Japan starts to experience the fall season. So through the end of November I will be sharing with you some the best fall spots Japan has to offer (in no particular order). Also, if you got a good place you want to share, please leave a comment and let us know! Last week I showed one place in Kyoto and this week I got another one for you: Arashiyama.

Arashiyama is just west of the city of Kyoto and about a 45 minute bus/train ride. Arashiyama is really breathtaking during the fall as it is next to the mountains and you can easily climb high enough to get a nice view of the mountains and The Hozu River that runs through them. The best time to go here is in the middle or end of November and I can confidently say you will not be disappointed.

For more photos and access information take a look at the Japan Photo Guide and this week it might be worth it to see even more photos of Arashiyama in my gallery.
