Zao onsen and Okama crater autumn colours 2018/10/6 14:15
Hi all,
I'm planning to visit Okama crater and Zao onsen this October. I will be staying in Kaminoyama from Oct 23rd to Oct 25th and do day trips from there.
My question is:
Is it the correct timing for seeing autumn colours in Zao onsen? Especially near the Zao ropeway and Zao onsen town.
Thank you!

Your time of visit is a bit late for autumn foliage in Zao-san.

But it seems OK for Zao onsen town.

Hi William5,
I visited Zao onsen on 25th Oct. The autumn colours in the upper part was over, but it was peak colouring at the Zao onsen town as you had advised. I had an incredible time exploring the town, Zao Chuo ropeway and the small lake.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Thiag.
