Kyoto, Japan

Famous for its four distinct and breathtaking seasons, autumn is often considered to be the most beautiful. While spring sees the arrival of Kyoto’s iconic cherry blossom, as temperatures dip, the colours of the leaves change into vibrant shades of orange, red, yellow and brown.

You’ll find Japanese maples, wax trees, rowan, burning bush and Japanese sumac, which all turn red; while the leaves of linden-leaved maples, ginkgo, Japanese elms and poplars turn a delicious shade of golden yellow.
