Kyoto’s autumn foliage season. An autumn trip on foot through Higashiyama (Posted 8/21)
Although August is still warm, it’s already time to start planning your autumn trip to Kyoto.
At Santōan, we have begun offering the “Autumn Foliage” Plan for the 2026 fall foliage season.
[Autumn Foliage] Walk to popular foliage spots! Why not enjoy a “Momiji Crawl”?
Located in Higashiyama, Santōan is within walking distance of many of Kyoto’s most iconic sights, including Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kodai-ji Temple, Yasaka Shrine, and Maruyama Park.
A “Momiji Crawl” is a leisurely way to explore Higashiyama as the leaves change color—visiting one famous foliage spot after another on foot.
Enjoy daytime strolls as well as visits to Kyoto’s temples and shrines on crisp autumn evenings—another seasonal highlight.
As the fall foliage season gets very busy, we recommend making your Reservation early if you are considering an autumn trip to Kyoto.
Take your time and savor Kyoto’s autumn in beautifully colored Higashiyama.
