Autumn in Japan is known as Aki (秋) and the fall foliage is classified by two different terms: Koyo (紅葉) and Momiji (紅葉). Koyo describes foliage with red and yellow colors, while Momiji (紅葉) specifically applies to the intensely red maple leaves that are particularly spectacular during the season. The leaves are changing colors, the air is crisp, and the weather is perfect for outdoor activities. People love going out to the pumpkin patch, picking apples from trees, and enjoying the beautiful scenery around them. #tachikawacity #tokyo #japan #japan_daytime_view #japan2023 #natural #naturalpark #red_leaves #mapletree #autumn #autumntrip #autumnseason

The natural landscape in the park changes with the seasons, and the four seasons are completely different. Cherry blossoms are also one of the must-see sights in the park Starting from March, after the Kanhizakura blooms first, there are also about 31 varieties of Somei-Yoshino cherry blossoms that will bloom next. About 1,500 cherry blossoms can be enjoyed. Among them, Somei-Yoshino cherry blossoms are concentrated in Sakura Garden, and many local people I also like to have a picnic here with my family and friends while admiring the blooming cherry blossoms. Not only that, you can also see the beautiful scenery of pink cherry blossoms and yellow rapeseed flowers contrasting with each other. Although it is a bit far from the center of Tokyo, the cherry blossoms here are so beautiful that it is worth a visit in person. #sakura2024

Because the park is very large, and there are more than 1,500 cherry blossom trees, and the grassy field in front of the cherry blossom forest is super large and very suitable for children's activities, so I have chosen this place in the past few years.

Covering an impressive 160 hectares, the park has grassy lawns, sports fields, flower gardens, children’s play areas (including a water park in summer), BBQ facilities, and more than 11km of dedicated cycling paths (plus bicycles for rent). It’s the most beautiful in autumn with the red maple trees and the beautiful yellow ginkgo trees. I’ve been to this park for 3 times but I’m always surprised by its beauty. Because it’s very large and there’re no restaurants inside the park so you should bring food or eat before going.
