Taste the emotion of a Japanese garden and the moistness of maple trees at Mukojima Hyakkaen
The maple trees in Mukojima Hyakkaen are an attractive place to enjoy photographing autumn foliage while surrounded by a moist, Japanese atmosphere. The park is dotted with ponds, paths, and teahouses, which, when combined with the red-colored maples, create an emotional landscape that is typical of a Japanese garden. During the soft morning light, the reflections on the water surface and the backlit leaves are beautiful, making it easy to create a picture with depth. This spot is recommended for those who want to take their time to capture the colors of the autumn leaves and the serene atmosphere.
Key points for photography
The key to shooting this scene is to superimpose the maple trees with the pond and path in the foreground, and to use morning oblique light and backlighting to express the quiet depth typical of Japanese gardens while taking advantage of the transparency of the leaves and reflections on the water surface.
