Every year, the Minamitsuru District Lake Kawaguchi Autumn Leaves Festival (red leaves) is held in the area around the lake from early to late November in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi.
Tourists can enjoy a beautiful view of the Momiji Corridor (tunnel) at an altitude of 830 meters on Lake Kawaguchi every day from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm and at night the tunnel is illuminated from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
There are approximately 60 giant maple trees that line a length of 150 meters creating a tunnel of wonderful autumn leaves.
It’s a popular spot to see the fall foliage leaving visitors dazzled and delighted.
Japanese and foreigners from all over Japan come to Lake Kawaguchi to see this beautiful landscape of the Momiji leaves with Mount Fuji projected in the background, an unmissable spectacle.
