Autumn leaves in Takasaki - Kusatsu

Hello: Any chance of viewing Autumn leaves near Kusatsu or Yubatake at the end of October? Thanks for any tips.

Late October usually seems to be a good timing for the trees around the town of Kusatsu, however, it is not particularly well known as an autumn color spot. More famous for colors is Mount Shirane above Kusatsu Onsen, but the colors there are usually best in early October.

Down in Takasaki, the colors are not usually peaking until late November.

Thanks Uji for all your tips and advice,if I may I'd like to know where I could find some Autumn leaves around in 2 or 3 hours from Tokyo during
that time using the JR Pass and thanks again for all your information.

Nikko, Mount Tanigawa or Karuizawa are some of the places that may have nice colors in late October. If I were you, I would just wait until you are in Japan and then get the up-to-date information at a local tourist information or on japan-guide.com where the colors are currently best, and then flexibly decide on where to go.

Thanks Uji for your tips,definitely I'll follow your advice and wait 'til then.

Thanks uji for the information about Mount Shirane, I will be visiting Mount Shirane on the 10th october.
