Enjoy the clear mountain air, autumn leaves, and winter cherry blossoms at Jomine Park

Jomine Park is a rare spot where visitors can enjoy the brilliant autumn leaves and winter cherry blossoms at the same time, surrounded by the clean mountain air. Due to its location at a high elevation and the cold temperatures, the autumn leaves begin to change color in November, and the winter cherry blossoms softly bloom as if nestled in the scenery. This quiet intersection of autumn and winter is a special attraction unique to Jomine Park.

Key points for photography

The key to taking photographs is to be conscious of the contrasting colors of the autumn leaves and winter cherry blossoms, and to place them in the same frame. Placing the red and orange of the autumn leaves in the foreground and the pale pink of the winter cherry blossoms in the background will emphasize the overlapping of the seasons. Low morning and evening light is recommended because it brings out the softness of the winter cherry blossoms and gives shadows to the autumn leaves. If the sky is used as a background from a slightly elevated angle, the colors will be separated from each other, creating a three-dimensional effect. By choosing a time of day when the wind is light and carefully picking up the blurring of branches, you can beautifully express the quiet seasonal atmosphere unique to Jomine Park.
