A designated top 100 maple viewing spot in Japan

Enjoy a symphony of golden ginkgo leaves, maple leaves and pink cherry blossoms in a single day

This tour provides basic support in Chinese and English, so you can join with peace of mind even if you don't speak the language

The autumn breeze kicks off the Aichi maple viewing overture! Set off easily from Nagoya, this single route brings together ancient temple red leaves, tens of thousands of four‑season cherry blossoms, riverside maple scenery and night maple illumination. With a friendly Chinese‑speaking guide, no need for travel planning or translating Japanese — enjoy the classic maple‑viewing hidden gems of central Japan with ease.

The first stop is Kokeizan Eihoji Temple, a Zen temple founded in 1313 during the Kamakura period by National Master Muso. It was named after its scenery's resemblance to Mount Lu in China. The temple garden is designated as a national scenic spot of Japan. In late November, the maple forest gradually turns colour, with vivid red branches surrounding the pond. The majestic ginkgo tree stands tall in front of the main hall, with golden yellow and vivid red complementing each other, reflected in the pond water — a scene full of ancient Zen ambience, where every shot is an autumn masterpiece of Japanese Zen aesthetics.

The tour features an exclusive photo stop at the rare four‑season cherry blossoms! When Japan's scarce four‑season cherry blossoms bloom, tens of thousands of trees are adorned with light pink and pure white flowers. As red maples spread across the sky, pink cherry blossoms bloom alongside the crimson maples — the stunning scene of autumn maples meeting cherry blossoms is a rare seasonal spectacle not to be missed.

Next, we head to Asuke‑cho Korankei, part of the Aichi Kogen Quasi‑National Park and selected as one of the "Top 500 Most Beautiful Walking Trails in Japan." A clear stream winds through the maple forest, with fiery red maple leaves hanging over the waterside, the babbling brook complementing the autumn colours across the mountains. When the night maple illumination begins at around 5pm, the lights cast a glow over the layered maple leaves, transforming the bright daytime maple scenery into a dreamy atmosphere — experience a completely different kind of autumn romance.

The entire tour is accompanied by a Chinese‑speaking guide who provides detailed explanations of the sites' history and maple‑viewing tips, ensuring seamless communication. Skip the hassle of navigating public transport — travel directly from Nagoya to these hidden gems and take in the ancient temple, four‑season cherry blossoms, riverside maples and night illumination all in one trip. The prime 2026 central Japan maple‑viewing season is limited — book early to secure this exclusive spectacle of red leaves and pink blossoms together!
