Not every Four Seasons Hotel property can display the four seasons literally like the one at Chinzanso (椿山荘) in Tokyo.
I have mentioned before how late autumn hits the Tokyo area. I’m used to fall colors in October. They don’t begin in Tokyo until November and don’t reach their peak until very late in the month or even early December.
I took today’s photo near the Imperial Palace (皇居) in January!
Fall is in the air in my current neck of the woods (Oregon), and some of the trees have begun to change color. In Japan (around Tokyo anyway) autumn doesn’t come until November, at the earliest, so there are still a couple of months before things look like today’s photo. I took this pic in late November on Mt. Mitake, not far from Tokyo.
