25 brilliant images of autumn in Japan

Posted by: brb In: Art ()

Autumn is my favorite season in Japan. The cool air in the morning, people wearing new fashion, the new possibilities of exploring the outdoors.

Here are colorful photos of outdoors in Japan that exemplifies the season of autumn. They were chosen with no particular criteria in mind. Just a pleasure to look at. Looking at these photos, one is tempted to go out more often and be captivated by the changing colors of nature. Enjoy.

(If you liked the photos, please visit the photographers’ photostreams in flickr.)

Updated! I found the original 25 pictures below through my usual flickr browsing activities but it’s amazing what other photos you can find if you really search for them. I have added 7 more colorful autumn images for your browsing pleasure!

Thanks for linking some of my photos. I’m really glad you liked them. The autumn colors pic was taken during an all day photo trip I took last week. The cosmos photo was taken a couple of years ago. All the photos on here are really awesome. My favorite is the first one by Haru. It’s almost like someone went and set up all the maples to look that way.

aikona, it’s funny you mention that these are a few classes higher. I have a top 10 list of fall photos that make my own look rather amateurish…;) I should post them sometime. The people that took them are pretty talented.

Hi Jason, thanks for dropping by and thanks for those great photos. I’ve shot a lot of fall pictures myself but none is as nice as those I posted here. I’m already thinking of where to go this weekend. ^_^;

Hola Prognatis, around Kyoto and Nikko and other places in the countryside, the colors are really amazing. The leaves are more yellow than red around my place, north of Tokyo. I’m glad you liked the photos.

Hello Jamie, thanks for dropping by. It’s OK, I have no problem with your post. I’m glad you liked the pictures as much as I do. :)

Jay, I know autumn is beautiful around Kyoto and Nikko and up north, but you do have nice beaches there in Okinawa so that makes us about even. :)
