📢 Current Update: Fall colors near Tokyo in Chiba

📍 Issa Soju Memorial Hall, Nagareyama City and Hondo-ji Temple, Matsudo City (location details below)

It was another beautiful fall day here in Chiba, so I hopped on a train and headed to see the autumn foliage in the cities of Nagareyama and Matsudo, which are both located close to Tokyo. Last week, it was the ginkgo leaves that were showing their peak autumn yellows, but now the maple leaves have joined the party and have started to display their colors too!

Some of the ginkgo leaves have reached their peak fall color, while others are still a bit green, so this weekend should be a great time to come see them for yourself!
