Oh, this is a tough one. Honestly, I'm fortunate that my local area is stunning. We went up the Hakkaisan Ropeway over the weekend and the colors were popping. Hopefully there's another autumn theme post for November so I can share! Outside of Niigata though, I really want to visit Kankakei Gorge in Kagawa. The colors there in autumn look just divine.

I would say either taking my husband back to Kyoto to re-enact our first date and see Ginkakuji again (maybe this time it won't be covered by a tarp) or Geibeki gorge in Iwate, which would be experienced on one of their specially made boats, with a kotatsu and an autumnal beer. It would be glorious.

I'm curious whether our City-Cost crew are folks who prefer the busier, more popular koyo spots (like these: https://tenki.jp/kouyou/ranking/) or if seeking out hidden, quieter spots is preferred. After so many years in Japan now I really prefer the less crowded places, I feel like the experience is a whole lot nicer without hordes of people.
