The autumn brocade of Arashiyama.

Arashiyama, a place of poetry for centuries. Here, the autumn leaves adorn the gorge like a rich brocade. Enjoy this seasonal beauty cherished by Heian nobles.

September

As summer's warmth lingers, the Arashiyama gorge is draped in deep green. A tranquil quiet descends, anticipating the coming season of autumn splendor.

October

The mountainside becomes a rich gradient as red and yellow leaves emerge among the green. In the crisp air, a luxurious season of shifting colors begins.

November

Arashiyama transforms into a breathtaking brocade of autumn foliage. The steep slopes are a silken tapestry of fiery red, vivid orange, and deep yellow. At Hoshinoya Kyoto, the grand maple in the "Okunoniwa" garden bathes the landscape in crimson as its colors deepen.
