Visiting Japan in November: The Best Things to Do and Reasons to Visit
- Written by: James Davies
If you’re trying to decide whether to visit Japan in November, then you really should go ahead and book that trip. November is one of the very best times of the year to visit Japan, thanks in no small part to the gorgeous autumn colors.
Why November is a good time to visit Japan
November is a fabulous time to visit Japan. Come November, autumn is in full swing throughout Japan, and glorious fall colors of yellows, oranges, and reds can be enjoyed right across the country. Temperatures in Japan in November are much cooler than in the previous few months, especially at night. However, you can expect a lot of sunshine and clear blue skies, making it a great time of year to get out and about and explore the great outdoors.
Weather in Japan during November
The weather in Japan in November is mostly dry, though temperatures vary greatly from the north to the south. The warmest areas in Japan in November are in the south, especially in the islands of Okinawa, where the average monthly temperature is around 21°C/70°F. It’s a little cooler in Fukuoka in the neighboring region of Kyushu, where the average temperature in November is around 15°C/59°F.
In Japan’s main cities of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima, the average temperature in November is around 13°C/55°F. However, if you plan to visit the north of Japan, you can expect temperatures to be much cooler. In Sendai, the capital of Miyagi Prefecture, the typical monthly average temperature is around 11°C/51°F, whereas further north in Morioka in Iwate Prefecture it is usually closer to 7°C/44°F. Hokkaido is a little colder, with the average temperature at this time of year at 6°C/42°F.
The typhoon season that lasts throughout the summer and into early autumn is typically over by November. The majority of Japan sees little in the way of rain in November, though you should always be prepared for the chance of showers or a little light rain from time to time.

What to pack for a trip in November
If you’re visiting Japan in November, you’ll definitely need to pack a few warmer clothes for the colder days. Packing a light jacket, long-sleeved clothes, and warmer base layers is a good idea, as temperatures can dip later in the day. You might also want to pack a pair of sunglasses and maybe some sunscreen, too, as November sees plenty of sunshine, especially if you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors. Finally, the occasional bit of rain is not uncommon in November, so it’s worth packing a waterproof jacket, too.
Where to Go in Japan in November
Best place for great weather: Kyushu
Located at the far south of the country, Kyushu is the third largest of Japan’s main islands. Famous for its hot springs, volcanic mountains, and gorgeous coastline, Kyushu is made up of seven prefectures, and also includes the major cities of Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kitakyushu, and Kumamoto. Kyushu sees some of the best weather in Japan, and in November you can still expect to find warm temperatures as well as early signs of autumn colors.
Kyushu has a huge variety of excellent destinations to visit. Fukuoka is the largest city in Kyushu, famous for its open-air yatai food stands, the beautiful Ohori Park, and the regional take on tonkotsu ramen called Hakata ramen. The hillsides around Nanzoin Temple, famous for its 41-meter-long reclining Buddha statue, is also a beautiful spot for hiking in November.
Also in Kyushu is the port city of Nagasaki. The moving Nagasaki Peace Park and the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum both commemorate the bombing of the city in the Second World War. Just off Nagasaki is Hashima, also known as Gunkanjima, or Battleship Island. The now-abandoned island was once the entrance to a coal mine and, for a while, became the most densely populated place on earth.
Nagasaki was one of the few cities in Japan open to foreign trade during the Edo Period, which has given the city a multicultural feel. The city’s small artificial island of Dejima was created to house Portuguese and Dutch traders in the 17th century. Portuguese missionaries also introduced Christianity to the region, and two of Nagasaki’s most famous landmarks are Urakami Cathedral and Oura Church. The city also boasts a vibrant Chinatown district.
There are plenty of other major attractions to be found in Kyushu. Kumamoto Castle is considered to be one of the best in Japan, while Beppu is famous for its fabulous hot spring waters. In Kagoshima Prefecture, you can visit Sakurajima, the most active volcano in Japan, while in Nagasaki Prefecture is Huis Ten Bosch, a giant theme park modeled on a city in the Netherlands, complete with canals and windmills.
Best place for families with children: Nikko
Nikko in November is a stunning sight, thanks to the magical autumn colors that fill the forests that surround the city. During the fall, Nikko becomes one of the most popular destinations in Japan thanks to the city’s stunning, colorful foliage. Yet Nikko is also a great place for families to visit, as they can combine the dazzling fall colors with nearby attractions that are perfect for young children.
Just outside Nikko is Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura, a theme park inspired by Japan’s Edo Period. Laid out as a traditional Edo-era Japanese town, at Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura, visitors can step back in time and experience life in Japan during the reign of the Samurai. Children and adults can dress up in a range of traditional clothes to become ninjas, courtesans, or feudal lords. You can even learn a number of the techniques used by ninjas, including swordsmanship, traditional archery, and how to throw a shuriken ninja star. And, you can even participate in traditional Edo-period culture and crafts, such as learning to play the shamisen and indigo dyeing, plus there are several live performances a day that include battle reenactments and martial arts.
Also nearby is Tobu World Square, another outdoor theme park that is home to a huge collection of 1:25 scale models of many of the world’s most famous landmarks. The theme park is divided into regions such as Asia, Europe, and America and displays over 100 replicas of famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Giza, and Japan's own Tokyo Skytree. The models are incredibly detailed and offer a fun and fascinating miniature journey around the world.
Best place for great scenery: Obara, Aichi Prefecture
On the northern outskirts of Toyota City is Obara, a beautiful rural area that comes alive with a unique blend of colors each autumn. The region is famous for its shikizakura, a rare type of cherry blossom tree that comes into bloom twice a year, once in spring and again in autumn. There are over 10,000 shikizakura trees in Obara, which bloom for the second time from October to December and peak around mid-November. The cherry blossom trees blend beautifully with the autumn colors that also flourish in Obara at the same time of year.
The best place to admire the mix of cherry blossom trees and autumn colors is at Senmi Shikizakura no Sato, a beautiful sloping hillside with walking paths that weave through the colorful trees. You can also enjoy the beautiful blooms and fall foliage at other spots nearby, such as Shikizakura Park, Obara Fureai Park, and amongst the grounds of the Obara Paper Art Museum.
Best place to avoid the crowds: Akita
Part of the northern Tohoku region, Akita Prefecture is one of the least visited places by foreign tourists this season in Japan. Yet Akita is home to a wealth of culture and history as well as plenty of stunning natural scenery, particularly in November. Akita’s location in the north of Japan means that there are plenty of places to enjoy autumn colors across the prefecture by November, most notably in the forests of Shirakami Sanchi. Several hiking trails lead through Shirakami Sanchi, an area famous for its sprawling beech forest, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1993.
The picturesque former samurai town of Kakunodate is another excellent place to enjoy autumn colors in November. Kakunodate’s quaint and atmospheric streets are lined with grand historic homes once occupied by many of the region’s high-ranking samurai. In November, the town’s charm is bolstered by the added beauty of the captivating colors of fall foliage.
Another great spot to explore in Akita is Lake Tazawa, the deepest lake in Japan. It is famous for the golden statue of Tatsuko, which is located on its south-western shoreline. According to legend, the young Tatsuko turned into a dragon after throwing herself into Lake Tazawa in the hope that she would hold on to her beauty forever.
Meanwhile, to the northeast of Lake Tazawa are the seven hot springs at Nyuto Onsenkyo. Nyuto Onsenkyo is a small onsen town where you can relax in the region’s calming hot spring waters amongst the spectacular mountain scenery of the Towada-Hachimantai National Park.
Best places to enjoy early snow: Niseko/Sapporo/Nagano
Niseko, Hokkaido - Hokkaido is world famous for its phenomenal powder-soft snow in the winter months. Niseko is one of the most famous resort towns in Japan, attracting fans of all types of snowsports from all over the world every year. While the peak snow season runs from December until late April, you can expect to see heavy snow in Niseko by late November. By this time, many of the slopes in Niseko’s resorts will be covered in snow and good for skiing, especially Annapuri and Hirafu.
Sapporo, Hokkaido - The capital of Hokkaido Prefecture, the city of Sapporo also begins to see snowfall in November, which will become much heavier from December onwards. Alongside snow, dazzling winter illuminations light up much of the city center from late November. The annual month-long German Christmas Market also begins in late November, usually starting in the last week of the month. The market is held in Odori Park beneath the Sapporo Tower and features many stalls selling traditional Christmas gifts and decorations and typically German winter snacks such as bratwurst and mulled wine. First held in 2002, the market is a nod to Sapporo’s twin city of Munich.
Murodo, Toyama - Murodo is the highest point of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route in Japan’s Northern Alps and offers some of the very best views of the Tateyama Mountain Range. The hiking trails around Murodo are popular in autumn for their vibrant fall colors, but snow begins to fall by November. The area enjoys some of the earliest snowfall in Japan as well as some of the heaviest across the winter months. For much of the winter, Murodo is inaccessible due to the impassable winter conditions, but November is a great time to visit and enjoy the early snow season. In November, it is still possible to reach Mikurigaike Pond, a crater lake created by a volcanic eruption around 10,000 years ago. Nearby is Mikurigaike Onsen, where you can bathe in the soothing spring waters of the highest natural onsen in Japan. The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is open until November 30 in 2024.
What to do in Japan in November
Recommended Day Trips from Tokyo in November
Mount Takao, Tokyo - Though named after the mountain, Mount Takao more commonly refers to a beautiful region of natural scenery located in the far west of Tokyo. Easily reached from central Tokyo, Mount Takao is an incredibly popular place for lovers of the great outdoors. It also features other attractions such as hot springs, a monkey park, and Yakuoin, a beautiful temple near the summit.
Several hiking trails cut through the mountain’s forests, which are incredibly popular during November thanks to their spectacular autumn colors.

From the peak of Mount Takao, there are fabulous views of Mount Fuji, which is usually capped with snow by November.
Kawaguchiko, Yamanashi - Kawaguchiko is a popular day trip from Tokyo, especially in November, thanks to the combination of stunning autumn colors and mesmerizing views of Mount Fuji. Come November, the foliage on the trees on the banks of Lake Kawaguchiko turns a beautiful shade of red, and they are celebrated during the Fujikawaguchiko Autumn Leaves Festival from late October to late November.
The most famous spot for spectacular autumn colors in Kawaguchiko is the Momiji Corridor and the nearby paths that run alongside the northern side of the lake looking towards Mount Fuji. The fall colors at Kawaguchiko peak around mid-November and are even lit up after dark for an extra spectacular nighttime view. Oishi Park is another popular spot for fabulous scenery in November. With superb views of Mount Fuji, Oishi Park is home to a wide range of colorful flowers that bloom throughout the year, including a field of kochia that turn a wonderful vibrant red by November.
Another reason to take a trip to Kawaguchiko in November is to visit Oshino Hakkai, a small village centered around eight crystal-clear ponds which are fed by melted snow from Mount Fuji. Around the largest pond are several traditional thatched roof cottages that sit in front of more fabulous views of Mount Fuji, a part of the Hannoki Bayashi Shiryokan open-air museum. There are also several excellent restaurants where you can eat traditional Japanese dishes such as soba and tempura.
Karuizawa, Nagano - Karuizawa is a tranquil mountain town that can be reached in just over an hour from Tokyo via the Hokuriku Shinkansen.

Onioshidashi Park in neighboring Gunma Prefecture is an easy and very popular side trip from Karuizawa. The park consists of a surreal landscape created by the lava that flowed through the region following a major volcanic eruption of Mount Asama in 1783. Onioshidashi Park is a part of Joshinetsu Highlands National Park, a huge national park that crosses into parts of Nagano, Gunma, and Niigata prefectures.
Recommended Day Trips from Kyoto in November
Kifune, Kyoto - Kifune is a small mountain town just to the north of the city of Kyoto centered around the historic Kifune Shrine. Kifune Shrine was founded over 1,300 years ago and is dedicated to the god of water, which explains its location next to the Kibune River. A popular destination to beat the heat in the summer, in November, Kifune’s mountain forests will be filled with breathtaking autumn colors. The small town is home to several traditional ryokan and restaurants that serve excellent Japanese specialty dishes, including exquisite multi-course kaiseki meals. A beautiful hiking trail also connects Kifune with the equally historic town of Kurama and its magnificent temple, Kurama-dera.

In November, the beauty of the garden is accentuated by the beautiful autumnal colors of the surrounding Rokko mountain ranges.

Alternatively, you can reach the garden via a hiking trail that passes Nunobiki Falls, a collection of four waterfalls.
Koyasan, Wakayama - Koyasan is an atmospheric mountain town famous for its many temples and the enchanting Okunoin Cemetery. Koyasan is where a sect of Buddhism called Shingon Buddhism was established in Japan by the monk Kobo Daishi in the 9th century.

At the entrance to the town stands the giant vermillion Daimon Gate, and throughout the town are dozens of historic temples, many of which offer visitors the chance to stay overnight in temple lodgings. Temple stays include the chance to experience the lifestyle of Buddhist monks, including simple yet comfortable lodgings, taking part in meditation or Buddhist ceremonies, and enjoying traditional Buddhist cuisine called shojin ryori.

Recommended Activities in November
Hiking: With so much of the country blessed with fabulous autumn colors at this time of year, November is a great time for hiking. There is no shortage of excellent places to hike in Japan, too, ranging from the ancient pilgrimage routes along the Kumano Kodo in the Kii Peninsula, the volcanic landscapes of Kyushu’s Aso Region, or the spectacular Okutama area on the western edge of Tokyo.
Skiing/snowsports: November can be a good time to ski or snowboard some of the early snow that reaches Japan at this time of year. Your best bet for snowsports in Japan in November will be in Hokkaido. By late November, many of the slopes at resorts at destinations such as Niseko are typically layered in snow and ready for snowsports. For guaranteed snow, head to the Karuizawa Prince Snow Resort. The resort uses machines to create artificial snow on its slopes which open from the beginning of November.

What to eat in Japan in November
Sweet potatoes - Sweet potatoes come into season in Japan in the autumn, typically from September to November, and are a hugely popular comfort food thanks to their delicious sweet flavor and warmth in the season’s colder temperatures. Roasted sweet potatoes called yakiimo are traditionally sold throughout Japan by street vendors or small trucks during the autumn.
Crab - Late autumn and through the winter is a great time for seafood in Japan, especially crab. Snow crab and king crab are two of the most popular types of crab thanks to their soft, succulent, and flavorful meat. King crab is particularly popular in Hokkaido, with snow crab easy to find in restaurants along the coast of the Sea of Japan, such as Ishikawa and Tottori prefectures.
Oysters - The arrival of winter in Japan marks the beginning of the oyster season, particularly Pacific oysters, which are a specialty of the prefectures of Hiroshima, Miyagi, Iwate, and Hokkaido. Harvested throughout the winter, oysters can be served in many different ways in Japanese cuisine, including raw, steamed, deep fried, and as ingredients in hotpots and even okonomiyaki.
Persimmons - Persimmons are another staple of the Japanese diet during winter, which usually come into season from November. A great source of fiber, vitamin A, and Vitamin C, persimmons are grown all over the country, but especially in Wakayama Prefecture, which is the largest producer in Japan. Persimmons come in two types - astringent and sweet - and are often dried and eaten as a snack or used in sweet desserts.
Apples - Apples are another sign of the coming of winter in Japan, which are typically harvested between October and January. The main apple producing areas of Japan are in Tohoku in the north of the country, particularly Aomori. Popular varieties of apple in Japan include Fuji, known for its large size and mild flavor, and Tsugaru, which has a crisp, sweet taste.
Lotus root - Lotus root, known as renkon in Japan, comes from the root of the lotus plant and is loved for its crisp texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is widely used in Japanese cuisine, often sliced and enjoyed raw in salads. Lotus root can also be pickled, stir-fried, simmered in soups, or even fried in tempura.
Tips for visiting Japan in November
November is a great time of the year to visit Japan thanks to its beautiful autumn colors, cooler temperatures, and magnificent sunny weather. However, some parts of Japan that are most famous for their fabulous fall colors draw a lot of visitors and can get very busy, especially on weekends. This is particularly true of places that are popular with tourists, such as Lake Kawaguchi’s Maple Corridor and around the Toshogu Shrine in Nikko.
