Enjoy Fall 2024 with 27 Popular Autumn Tours from Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto

Autumn

Autumn in Japan explodes with fiery shades of vermillion, crimson, and gold clinging to the lofty mountains, and their reflections shimmering in the blue lakes and rivers. As the leaves change into warm colors, the air starts to cool. By the time you're flipping the calendar from September to October, the sweltering afternoons are replaced by breezy, comfortable days. No more rushing to the nearest combini just for a blast of cold air. If you're fortunate enough to be in Japan during the glorious fall season, take full advantage of the beautiful views and activities. Skip the hassle of planning transportation and instead choose from these curated day trip tours. From hundreds out there, we’ve handpicked the best 27 autumn tours in Tokyo (Mt. Fuji, Nikko) and Kansai (Kyoto, Osaka, Nara). (Note: Since the timing of the foliage depends on both location and weather, it's best to check the specifics with each tour.)
