A Famous Autumn Foliage Viewing Spot Since the Edo Period
The 24th Mt. Kora Maple Festival will be held on November 10th. Halfway up Mt. Kora, a famous autumn foliage viewing spot called "Momijidani" (Maple Valley) has existed since the Edo period.
It’s a local-led festival that usually features several stage performances. Last year, the event was canceled due to rain, so let’s hope it will be sunny this year and the festival pushes through!
