Autumn Color Report 2011 Official autumn color reports by japan-guide.com Guide to Autumn Colors - Schedule of upcoming reports - Post your own report previous post index next post 2011/11/23 - Kanazawa Report by schauwecker After nearly a week of reporting in the Kansai Region, I am returning home today to take a short break from the autumn colors. Along the way, I made a quick stop in Kanazawa for our first ever koyo report from Kenrokuen, the city's celebrated landscape garden. Some of the nicest colors were located right around the entrance gate Kotojitoro Lantern, the symbol of Kenrokuen and the entire prefecture of Ishikawa A centuries old pine tree is set up with ropes to protect its branches from heavy snow Kenrokuen does not offer overwhelming amounts of colors, but rather pretty clusters of maple and other colorful trees here and there. Only in the garden's eastern corner around the Yamazakiyama Hill did I find a larger concentration of fall foliage. Some trees around the Yamazakiyama Hill have already dropped their leaves, creating a colorful carpet Most of the maple trees on the Yamazakiyama Hill, however, will further improve their colors from now Yamazakiyama Hill Photographers on Yamazakiyama Hill While some of the trees have reached the peak of their seasonal beauty, many others were still improving their colors and should justify a koyo visit to Kenrokuen for at least another week if not two. The garden and neighboring Kanazawa Castle Park are offering evening illuminations on November 26 and 27 from 17:30 to 21:00. Admission will be free. Many of Kenrokuen's numerous cherry trees have already lost their leaves But some cherry cherry trees, like this one, still contributed to the autumn colors Moss carpet Evolving colors around the Hisagoike Pond previous post index next post List of Posts: 2011/12/13 - Tokyo Report 2011/12/08 - Kamakura Report 2011/12/05 - Tokyo Report 2011/12/02 - Kyoto Report 2011/12/01 - Nara Report 2011/11/30 - Kyoto Report 2011/11/29 - Kyoto Report 2011/11/28 - Kyoto Report 2011/11/27 - Tokyo Report 2011/11/27 - Kyoto Report 2011/11/23 - Kanazawa Report 2011/11/22 - Tokyo Report 2011/11/22 - Kyoto Report 2011/11/21 - Miyajima Report 2011/11/20 - Kyoto Report 2011/11/18 - Kyoto Report 2011/11/15 - Tokyo Report 2011/11/13 - Kyoto Report 2011/11/12 - Unzen Report 2011/11/09 - Sakurayama Report 2011/11/08 - Fujigoko Report 2011/11/04 - Kurobe Report 2011/11/02 - Mitakesan Report 2011/10/27 - Nikko Report 2011/10/27 - Towadako Report 2011/10/26 - Hakkodasan Report 2011/10/21 - Fukushima Report 2011/10/20 - Zao Report 2011/10/19 - Naruko Report 2011/10/12 - Nikko Report 2011/10/12 - Oze Report 2011/10/07 - Nasu Report 2011/10/03 - Nikko Report 2011/09/27 - Norikura Report 2011/09/14 - Ginsendai Report 2011/09/13 - Asahidake Report
