Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question,
please post it. Thank you!

Autumn leaves in early Dec. 2009/6/19
Please recommend autumn leaves spots during early Dec.I'm now considering about going to Kansai, Kyushu (Fukuoka), or Chubu (Nagoya,Takayama, Shirakawa-go).

Which area would you recommend if I want to avoid snowy places?

Thank you for your kind answer.

As a reference, take a look here:

Mid to end of Nov. would be a better time, and you have more choices of places to go. Arashiyama in Kyoto is highly popular. Autumn foliage season for Takayama and Shirakawa-go tend to occur even earlier, definitely not during early Dec.

Maple leaves in Dec 2009/6/20
Thought this might be useful, I was in Japan last Dec and I still managed to see maple leaves in Tokyo and Kyoto.
