Momiji


In spring we have 'Hanami', and the fall equivalent is
'Momijigari'.

It doesn't involve any special ritual, we just enjoy
the red and yellow maple leaves, have something good
to eat and drink, and wish that autumn didn't have to end.
It's said that even hundreds of years ago, Japanese played
music and danced beneath the crimson trees.

It is not as boisterous as Hanami.  It's rather elegant occasion
for quiet enjoyment of the beautiful colors.

Many of the trees in Japan turn color in the fall,
and each district has famous spots for viewing the foliage.
At this season, places such as Nikko (Tochigi Prefecture),
Hakone (Kanagawa Prefecture), and Arashiyama (Kyoto)
are thronged with tourists.
