6 days trip early December - questions

Hi,

I am looking at booking a trip to Japan to arrive 3rd December and depart 9th December, this will be my 7th time visiting Japan, I have been to all the common and some not so common places, the reason for wanting to visit at this time is because I have never visited during Autumn.

What I want to know is, Is it likely I will be able to see any autumn colours during this week, if yes, where? And if not, where else is popular to visit during this time?

I have a choice of flying to Nagoya or Tokyo or a mixture of both in/out.

Thanks in advance.

basically i think you can see japans beautiful autumn in that week. but keep in mind, it can be change, so i cannot garantee for 100%.
if you will be in tokyo, I highly recommend you to visit Shinjuku Gyoen. it is a beautiful park, even if you cannot see autumn color.

I'm not sure about Tokyo, but I have been to Nara and Kyoto a few times in the last week of November and first week of December. My experience has been that there has been plenty of colour around the 27th November but usually by 3 December the leaves are mainly red or brown. I appreciate that this is a generalisation, though, and it seems to be the cold winds that knock over the colour which might vary from year to year.

If you could get over a week before you would have a better chance of seeing full colour, I think.
