Naritasan Park｜The pond and maple leaves create a beautiful “upside-down” view of the autumn foliage

Enjoy the view of “upside-down autumn leaves” created by the pond and maple trees at Naritayama Park

Naritayama Park is a popular spot to enjoy the autumn colors of the maple trees surrounding the pond and, in some places, the “upside-down” autumn leaves reflected on the surface of the water. The spacious park is easy to stroll around with its calm atmosphere, and visitors can enjoy the changing of the seasons in a relaxed manner as they walk around. If you visit the park in conjunction with the adjacent Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, you can enjoy a deeper sense of autumn through the two different expressions of the historic precincts and the park's rich natural environment. The autumn scenery of Naritasan Park is recommended for those who wish to enjoy the autumn leaves in a tranquil setting.

Key points for photography

The key to taking photographs is to compose your composition with the positional relationship between the pond and the autumn leaves in mind to create a tranquil autumn scene. When the wind is light, the surface of the water tends to calm down, and when aiming for upside-down autumn leaves, framing from a slightly lower position will help you achieve a cohesive image. Placing the maple tree in the foreground and the pond in the background creates depth and conveys the expanse of the park. The soft light in the morning and evening will soften the colors and create a calm atmosphere. As you stroll through the park, change your perspective and look for the quiet expression of autumn that is unique to Naritasan Park.
