Without doubt Sakura (the cherry-blossom) is the most famous event in Japan but Koyo (the autumn leaves viewing) is not second to it in terms of beauty (at least according to my opinion). To help you make your mind (which one is ichiban – the best) I selected some of my best Koyo and Sakura images for this blog entry.

Here are the Koyo pictures. They are all from – Suma Rikyu Park near Kobe. This Park is not very well known but it is one the best places for Koyo viewing I ever discovered in Japan:
Just in case you wonder – my favorite is Koyo. But I love Sakura also a lot and I promise that from tomorrow I am starting an official hunt with my camera for the best Sakura images in Kansai region!
