Today, I advanced one final time to Tokyo, which is really one of the most recent cresting pre-winter shading areas in Japan. The hues around the city have a tendency to be getting it done around late November and early December consistently, and this year ended up being no exemption. The leaves in some of Tokyo's best pre-winter leaf spots that I went by today were either past their top or fallen. There were a few special cases, then again, with a couple patches of truly pleasant hues that late-season urban leaf watchers can at present catch as the weekend progressed.
My first visit today was to Rikugien Garden in northern Tokyo. A Tokyo fall top choice, the scene garden's foliage was still striking in numerous spots early today, particularly around the beautiful Tsutsuji Chaya teahouse in the back of the recreation center (constantly one of the last spots in Tokyo to achieve its crest shading). It ought to make for an extraordinary spot to appreciate some end-of-the-season koyo (pre-winter shading) through at any rate ahead of schedule one week from now.
