It is a noticeable change from the heat and humidity of summer, but winter has not fully set in across most of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In much of central Japan, daytime temperatures are generally around 15\u00b0C to 20\u00b0C, while nights can fall to around 5\u00b0C to 10\u00b0C. Northern areas are colder, with temperatures dropping further as the month progresses. Southern Japan remains milder.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Wear in Japan in November<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Layers are the easiest option for November. Pack clothes that you can add or remove as the temperature changes rather than relying on one heavy coat.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 0rem; margin-left: 1em;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-sleeved tops<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweater or fleece<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light to medium-weight jacket<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comfortable walking shoes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compact umbrella or rain jacket<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A warmer layer for colder regions<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most of Japan, a light jacket and a few layers are enough during the day.

Northern and higher-altitude areas usually change earlier, while central and southern Japan tends to reach its best colours later in the month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a first trip, you can add autumn scenery to a city itinerary in Tokyo or Kyoto, while Mt. Fuji, Hakone, and Nikko offer more opportunities to see the season outside the major cities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Tokyo<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tokyo is a great place to see autumn colours. Many parks, gardens, and temple grounds have trees that turn yellow, orange, and red in November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meiji Jingu Gaien is known for its row of ginkgo trees, which turn bright yellow during autumn. Shinjuku Gyoen is another place where you can see different types of trees and spend some time away from the busy city streets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are staying for a few days, you can add these places to your sightseeing plans without changing your whole <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dimaak.com\/blog\/tokyo-itinerary\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tokyo itinerary.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Kyoto<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kyoto is a natural stop for anyone planning to see autumn leaves in Japan. The city&#8217;s temples, gardens, and wooded areas take on shades of red, orange, and yellow throughout November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some places to add to your list are Kiyomizu-dera, Arashiyama, Eikando Temple, and Tofukuji Temple. The exact timing of the autumn colours changes each year, so check the foliage conditions closer to your travel dates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Mt. Fuji Area<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dimaak.com\/blog\/mt-fuji-japan-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mount Fuji viewing spots<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> give you a chance to see autumn colours with views of the mountain. In November, trees around the lakes and nearby areas change colour, creating great photo spots when the weather is clear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lake Kawaguchiko is one of the main places to visit in this area. The Momiji Corridor, near the lake, is also worth adding to your plans during the autumn season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kawaguchiko can be visited as a day trip from Tokyo. Staying overnight is a good option if you want more time to see the lake and the surrounding area.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Hakone\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hakone is another place to see autumn colours while enjoying the area&#8217;s hot springs, lakes, and mountains. In November, the trees around Hakone Gora Park, Lake Ashi, and parts of the Hakone Tozan Railway route start changing colour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can enjoy autumn scenery while travelling through Hakone rather than spending the whole day in one place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Nikko<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nikko is located outside Tokyo and is surrounded by forests and mountains. In November, the changing leaves add colour to the area&#8217;s temples, shrines, and natural surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls are at higher elevations, so the leaves there can change colour earlier than in lower areas. You can also visit Toshogu Shrine and see the autumn colours in the surrounding trees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nikko is a day trip from Tokyo, so you can see a different side of Japan without spending several days away from the capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When to See Autumn Leaves in November<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Autumn leaves do not change across Japan at the same time. The colours usually appear first in northern and higher areas before moving towards central and southern parts of the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dimaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/When-to-See-Autumn-Leaves-in-November.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17070\" src=\"https:\/\/dimaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/When-to-See-Autumn-Leaves-in-November.jpg\" alt=\"When to See Autumn Leaves in November\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dimaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/When-to-See-Autumn-Leaves-in-November.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/dimaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/When-to-See-Autumn-Leaves-in-November-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dimaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/When-to-See-Autumn-Leaves-in-November-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dimaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/When-to-See-Autumn-Leaves-in-November-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early November<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first week of November is when autumn colours are most likely to appear in northern Japan and higher-elevation areas. In other parts of the country, many trees may still be green, with the colour change happening later in the month.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid-November<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the second and third weeks of November, autumn colours start appearing across more parts of Japan. Higher areas in central Japan are more likely to have colourful foliage during this period, while lower areas may still be changing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Late November<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the last week of November, autumn colours are more common across many parts of central Japan. Some areas may already be past their peak, while others may just be reaching their best colours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you are travelling to Japan for the first time, mid to late November is the best time to see autumn colours across a wider part of Japan. Early November is more suitable if northern Japan or higher-elevation areas are part of the itinerary. Those travelling during the final week of the month have more opportunities to see autumn colours in central Japan, including areas that change later in the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recommended November Festivals and Events to Experience in Japan<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">November brings several<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dimaak.com\/blog\/famous-festival-of-japan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> festivals and cultural events across Japan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that are worth adding to a travel itinerary. From local festivals and cultural performances to traditional celebrations, these events add more to a November trip beyond autumn leaves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Tori no Ichi (Tokyo)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Held at Otori Shrine in Asakusa, Tori no Ichi is a traditional market festival where people buy decorated Kumade lucky rakes for good fortune, while food stalls and festival shops fill the shrine grounds, making it a lively part of Tokyo&#8217;s November calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Shichi-Go-San (Across Japan)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shichi-Go-San is a traditional celebration for children aged three, five, and seven, when families take them to Shinto shrines dressed in colourful kimonos or formal clothes to pray for their health and growth. Seeing families celebrate Shichi-Go-San gives you a glimpse of an important Japanese family tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Arashiyama Momiji Festival (Kyoto)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Held near the Katsura River and Togetsukyo Bridge, the Arashiyama Momiji Festival features decorated boats, traditional performances, and other cultural activities, making it a memorable part of your Kyoto trip in November.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Gion Odori (Kyoto)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gion Odori is an annual November dance performance by geisha and maiko from Kyoto&#8217;s Gion Higashi district, with traditional music, costumes, and dances that provide you with a closer look at Kyoto&#8217;s performing arts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Karatsu Kunchi (Saga)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Karatsu Kunchi is a major autumn festival where 14 large hikiyama floats are pulled through the streets of Karatsu alongside music, food stalls, and local celebrations, and it will give you a chance to see one of Saga&#8217;s major traditional festivals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning Your Japan Itinerary in November<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most first-time visitors, 10 to 13 days in Japan is enough to explore the main highlights at a comfortable pace without rushing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 0rem; margin-left: 1em;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>1-2 days:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Spend your time in Tokyo, covering the city&#8217;s main attractions and autumn spots such as Meiji Jingu Gaien and Shinjuku Gyoen.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>3-4 days<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Divide your time between Tokyo and Kyoto, spending around 1-2 days in each city.

Fuji, Hakone, or Nikko and make the most of a 10-13 day trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make your November plans easier with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dimaak.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dimaak Tours<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

What are the best places to see Mount Fuji in Japan during November?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a first trip, Tokyo and Kyoto cover the main city sights and autumn scenery. Mt. Fuji, Hakone, and Nikko can be added for mountain, lake, and foliage views, while November festivals add seasonal experiences to the itinerary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. How is the weather in Japan in November and what should I pack?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Central Japan usually has 15\u00b0C-20\u00b0C days and 5\u00b0C-10\u00b0C nights. Pack layers such as long-sleeved tops, a sweater or fleece, a light jacket, comfortable shoes, and a compact umbrella.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. How many days are enough for Japan in November?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10-13 days give first-time visitors enough time to cover Tokyo, Kyoto, Mt. Fuji, Hakone, and Nikko at a comfortable pace, with time for autumn foliage, sightseeing, and day trips. Shorter trips are better kept to fewer destinations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Where can you see autumn leaves in Japan in November?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tokyo, Kyoto, Mt.
