Enjoying Japanese-style maple photography at Mukojima Hyakkaen Garden
Mukojima Hyakkaen Garden is a spot where you can enjoy photographing autumn foliage amidst a serene Japanese atmosphere. Ponds, paths, and tea houses dot the grounds, and combining them with the crimson maple leaves allows you to capture picturesque shots reminiscent of a traditional Japanese garden. The best viewing time is when morning light filters through. Paying attention to reflections on the water's surface or leaves translucent in backlight creates photos with depth. Despite its central location, a calm atmosphere prevails, making it a recommended spot for those who want to thoroughly capture the hues of autumn leaves and the tranquility.
Key points for photography
As of December 13, 2025, with the exception of the maple trees near the entrance, the trees throughout the park had mostly shed their leaves, and it seemed the peak of autumn colors had passed. Therefore, I thought I would like to visit a little earlier next year to enjoy photographing the beautiful colors at their peak.
