“Momiji” or “Koyo”, we say in Japan for autumnal tints.
66% of Japanese land is covered by trees.
It is green, but in autumn the color of trees will be changed.
This is appreciated by tourists when the color of trees becomes in red or in yellow.
Maple is very loved by Japanese for autumnal tints to enjoy.
The season starts from September in Hokkaido, October in Tohoku and ends in December in Kyushu.
