The banks of Meguro River come alive with the Cherry Blossoms early in the year and then the stunning orange, gold and red leaves of Autumn (秋 – あき) arrive later in the year (Sep – Oct). This image was taken where Meguro-dori (目黒通り) crosses Meguro River (目黒川).

Japan Images: Nikko Autumn Leaves
December 5th, 2009

I had decided before arriving in Japan on a recent visit to Tokyo that I would make the two hour trip north to Nikko at some point during our stay.

We got the usual Tokyo clouds and/or light drizzle on most days but thankfully on the morning that it counted I woke up to a spectacular winter’s day, which helped make the visit to Nikko an unforgettable experience.
