Autumn at Mount Takao transforms the forest itself into a canvas of color. Walking along the approach path, the red maple leaves and yellow Japanese maples drifting down from above shimmer in the soft light. Particularly around Yakuoin Temple on the mountainside, the vermilion main hall and the autumn foliage blend together beautifully, creating a moment that truly embodies the essence of “Japanese autumn.”
