What’s New

You may have done some digging around on random tourism websites about where is the best place to see Koyo (autumn foliage) and probably got met with the same old: Kanazawa, Kyoto and Hiroshima. Though, what if I were to tell you that you don’t even need to go as far as Nomi to find some of the best Koyo spots.
Due to its abundance of great nature and Momiji trees, Komatsu has plenty of spots that are worth the journey. This is a brief guide of where you can see these spots

Hanibe Caves
Although the interior of the caves remains fairly consistent all year round, the view of the Giant Buddha’s head is ornamented with crimson during this day making for an excellent photo opportunity.

Rojo Park
Komatsu’s seasonal representative: as with every season, Rojo Park doesn’t shy away from showing its colours in the Autumn Time. With free entry and no closing time, drop by whenever you feel the need.

Natadera
Easily Komatsu’s most iconic spot for Autumn Foliage. The abundance of seasonal flora makes for a unique experience every time you visit. The beautiful Kigan-yusenkyo rock formations that Natadera is so famous because peppered with beautiful crimson trees. The pond next to it also becomes framed with exceptional beauty around this time of the year too.

Although brief, I hope this quick guide inspires a nice day of Autumn Foliage viewing from within Komatsu!
