A beautiful scene of cosmos and red spider lilies that brighten the autumn season
Special Feature on Higanbana (Manjushage) | Famous Higanbana Viewing Spots and Photo Locations in the Kanto Region to Visit This Fall
The red spider lily (Manjushage), which blooms with vibrant red flowers as autumn arrives, is one of the season’s signature flowers. The crimson blossoms, which seem to float amidst the greenery, have a somewhat ethereal quality that captivates all who see them. Higanbana drenched in morning dew, or clusters of the flowers bathed in the soft light of the morning or evening sun, take on different appearances depending on the time of day, offering new charms no matter how many times you visit.
In the Kanto region and its surrounding areas, there are various locations—including large clusters of flowers that turn the landscape entirely red, as well as temples, shrines, parks, rural woodlands, and rice paddy paths. The early morning hours, when the area is bathed in soft light, are especially recommended for photography, as the red color of the flowers stands out beautifully and there are relatively few people around. You can capture photos unique to the red spider lily by making use of dappled sunlight or backlighting, or by combining them with golden rice ears and autumn scenery.

Cosmos Special Feature | Famous Cosmos Viewing Spots and Photo Locations Near the Kanto Region to Visit This Fall
Cosmos are one of the flowers most associated with autumn, and they are beautiful as they sway in the autumn breeze. The sight of a field covered with colorful flowers—pink, white, red, and more—has a gentle, soothing quality that calms the heart just by looking at it.
Cosmos fields stretching across parks, hillsides, and riverbanks blend beautifully with the open landscape, offering a refreshing, quintessentially autumnal view. Against a blue sky, they appear bright and vibrant, while the soft light of morning and evening lends them a gentle, serene atmosphere.
Cosmos flowers, which make you feel the approach of fall as you watch them sway in the breeze and inspire you to capture them in photos, are the perfect subject for fall outings and photo shoots.
