## Only in Japan. Only in Autumn.

Japan might be renowned for cherry blossom season, but what if we told you that it’s actually one of the world's top-rated destinations to see the autumn leaves?

Maple trees turn deep crimson, ginkgo avenues glow yellow in the evening light, mountain trails are alive with colour. Hike or cycle through the forests of Tohoku, visit Kyoto’s temples and tea houses framed with foliage, and spend your evenings soaking in an outdoor *onsen*  bath as the air turns crisp. 

Travel with us on a tailor-made holiday from October to December this year, and **you’ll get a bonus experience valued up to $750 at no extra cost**. A cultural adventure with all the trimmings.  From meeting a geisha in Kanazawa to eating *okonomiyaki*  in Osaka with a local guide, here are a few ways to get beneath the surface of Japan this autumn.

## Pick one of four experiences for your cultural adventure

Availability is limited and, like autumn itself, **these won’t be around for long.**

### Half a day with an Insider

Spend the day with a local who knows the side streets and the overlooked cultural spots. Plus, lunch is on us.

![Play games with a geisha-1](https://site.insidejapantours.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Campaign%20assets/2026/AU%20Autumn%20Campaign/Play%20games%20with%20a%20geisha-1.png?width=528&height=529&name=Play%20games%20with%20a%20geisha-1.png)

### Play games with a geisha

The best way to understand geisha culture is to go meet them yourself. Choose between Kanazawa or Kyoto. Tea, games and conversation included.

![Guided walk through Gion (kyoto)](https://site.insidejapantours.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Campaign%20assets/2026/AU%20Autumn%20Campaign/Guided%20walk%20through%20Gion%20(kyoto).png?width=529&height=528&name=Guided%20walk%20through%20Gion%20(kyoto).png)

### Guided walk through Gion (Kyoto)

 Your expert local guide will share the stories, customs and small details of the geisha district. Things that are otherwise so easy to miss.

## Autumn in Japan – your way

Many of our [Self-Guided Adventures](https://www.insidejapantours.com/self-guided-japan-holidays/) work particularly well in autumn, and there are plenty to choose from.

Head north to Tohoku, a region reached by just 1% of visitors. On **[Undiscovered North](https://www.insidejapantours.com/au/self-guided-japan-holidays/i-aom/japans-undiscovered-north)**, hike through the Oirase Gorge at its most colourful in early October, when deep orange beeches and fiery red maples line the rivers.

Or, combine Kyoto’s temples and tea houses with a journey into the Japan Alps and Kamikochi National Park on **[Autumn Splendour.](https://www.insidejapantours.com/au/self-guided-japan-holidays/i-asc/autumn-splendour/)**

Whichever journey you choose, we’ll tailor your holiday to suit you and your travel companions perfectly.
