Autumn leaves in Tohoku area

Hi, we are going to visit Japan in end Nov to early Dec this year. We intend to visit Tohoku area. May I know if we can still get to see autumn leaves during this period. I was told that it's too late for Autumn leaves, is it true?
Thanks & regards,
Margaret

It is too late for the Tohoku region. Only if it is an extraordinarily late year, you might still find some autumn colors in low elevations of southern Tohoku. But basically, I am afraid it is too late.

Hi Uji, thanks for your your prompt reply. Would like to ask 2 more questions.

1) If not in Tohoku area, can you kindly suggest where in Japan can we visit to view Autumn colours during that period (last week of Nov & first week of Dec)?

2) If it's not for Autumn leaves, where will be interesting to visit during that time? Thanks once again.

Regards,
Margaret

Kyoto and Tokyo (incl. Kamakura) are nice during this time of the year. It is the busiest time of the year in Kyoto, so you better make hotel reservations now.

If it's not for Autumn leaves, where will be interesting to visit during that time?

Anywhere would be good, according to your interests. Although, unless you like winter sports, it is not the best time to visit Hokkaido:
