I enjoy a sport even more than sakura hunting: It’s Momiji<\/em> autumn leaves hunting. At the beginning of November, the foliage of Japanese maple trees turns red before falling during winter. For this reason, Japanese people love to go to Kyoto (\u4eac\u90fd) in autumn to admire its thousands of red and orange Momiji<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. I join them with pleasure every year, looking for the area’s hidden treasures with my camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After living in Kyoto for more than two years, I had the chance to discover the most popular Momiji <\/em>season destinations. Next, I wanted to seek out the lesser-known gems hidden within the region where I could take the time to admire the fall colors. As I don’t have a driver’s license, I was looking for places accessible by public transportation, which is not so easy to find when looking in the remote region of the prefecture. Then, one of my Japanese friends told me about the small village of Ohara, only one hour from the center of Kyoto by bus.<\/strong> Let me tell you more about this hidden gem and discover this mythical village in the mountains of Kyoto!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
