Autumn leaves in Miyajima

Hello, this is Tomomi from Hiroshima Hana.

These days, it is getting cold in the night and in the morning…summer is over.

However, that means that the best season to visit Miyajima is coming soon!

Miyajima is famous for its autumn leaves. They will start turning red and yellow from November and the best period to experience that is from the middle to the end of November.

For the best pictures of the colorful leaves we recommend Momijidani Park. The Park is stretching along the Momijidani river near the valley at the foot of Mount Misen. There are around 200 trees waiting for you (about 20 min by foot from the Miyajima ferry port).

Enjoy the beautiful autumn colors in Miyajima!

The event will provide live stage entertainment in addition to featuring an amazing number of food stands offering the tastes of Hiroshima.
