Top Things to Do in Kyoto in November
Red fall foliage is definitely the highlight in Kyoto in November, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kyoto Imperial Palace, Kifune Shrine, Arashiyama, etc. are all perfect spots to appreciate red leaves. In Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a distinctive “beauty” created with the maples under specially designed lights attracts lots of visitors at night. Gion Odori offers an opportunity to watch elegant Japanese dances by geisha at Gion Higashi. If you would like to learn about samurai, Kyoto Samurai & Ninja Museum are the right places to go.
Tips
Mid-late November is the peak season of red autumn foliage in Kyoto, as the entire city is shaded by the beautiful leaves. On northern mountains, the fall foliage season comes earlier than the downtown, which perhaps begins in late October. Thus, if you gets to Kyoto in early November, the mountain area in the north is also nice to admire autumn scenery.
