Leaf Season-O-Rama
Forget those pesky cherry blossoms. Leaf season is the BEST!
If you’d like to visit Arisugawa Park, Gokoku-ji temple, Gotoku-ji temple (they’re different!), the Nezu Shrine, Koraku-en garden, or any of the other best places to see autumn leaves in Tokyo, directions & maps to all the shrines & temples and gardens are on my website, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had.

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
Gorgeous pictures, Jonelle. You have motivated me to go get the pictures of the Higashiyama ginko trees I’ve been planning to take.
I didn’t make it out to see those! Please post! I love ginko trees, and they changed so slowly this year, when I went to see the famous ones at Ichou Namiki, they were sort of half yellow and half green still! (><)
Just got back from my ginko pilgrimage and they’re not ready yet. Will try again in a few days.
