Daikigaeri Valley Autumn leaves

what is the normal timing for the autumn leaves at Daikigaeri Valley?

Plan to go on the 8th Nov, is is over by then? if so, is it still worth going?

thanks.

Nov 8 maybe a bit late, autumn foliage season for Dakigaeri Valley is from mid Oct to early Nov.

Thanks for the info. will have to change my itinerary since it is close until further notice.

It is really difficult to plan the trip to Tohoku due to the limited transportation and most info is in Japanese!

Thanks.
