Momijidani Park is in a valley at the mountain foot of Mt. Misen. There are about 700 Japanese maple trees scattered around the park, and they create a stunning view of autumn foliage. Here, the subtle gradation of red, orange, and yellow are just breathtaking! Trees are on the slopes, on the flat paths, and along the river. The park is a 20-minute walk from Miyajima Pier, and a 15-minute walk from Itsukushima Shrine. The best time to see the autumn leaves is usually mid to late November.
